New Delhi:A quick look at the timeline of Artificial Intelligence, the way we know it today, gives it a birth year of 2022, even though the technical and holistic foundations were laid decades ago. This 4-year-old has hundreds of millions of active daily users across different products and versions.

No other technology seems to have scaled this faster while creating this dimensionally different of an impact, across all perceivable sectors of human knowledge, while evolving itself every day.

Growing concerns of AI development and usage hitting a plateau are well-founded. Debates on AI's environmental impact on the planet and its cognitive impact on the population are definitely concerning.

But, as with many transformational technologies before it, AI is in its early stages and might eventually settle into its rhyme and rhythm.

If an AI agent/tool wrote this article, it would declare 2026 as the dawn of the era of artificial intelligence, but since it did not, let us start by acknowledging it as the dawn of the era of Agentic AI.

The year 2025 saw the hype for generative AI hit never-before-seen peaks, be it people spending a lot of time searching "how to make Ghibli-style portraits of themselves" or getting images generated of themselves in festive Indian-wear, thanks to Nano Banana going viral.
