Orchestrated Distributed Intelligence: A Systems Paradigm for Agentic AI

This briefing document reviews the main themes and important ideas presented in Krti Tallam's paper on Orchestrated Distributed Intelligence (ODI). The paper argues for a paradigm shift in the field of Agentic AI, moving away from the development of isolated autonomous agents towards the creation of integrated, orchestrated systems of agents that work collaboratively with human workflows. ODI is presented as a novel approach that combines systems theory with AI capabilities, aiming to bridge the gap between artificial and human intelligence and transition organisations from static systems of record to dynamic systems of action.
