Agentic AI

At Computex 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang repositioned the company as an AI infrastructure architect, unveiling advancements in consumer GPUs, data center solutions, industrial metaverse tools, and robotics. Key highlights included the Blackwell architecture for AI training/inference and Isaac GR00T N1.5, a foundation model for humanoid robots. Huang emphasized physical AI as the next industrial revolution, citing partnerships with firms like Boston Dynamics and Morgan Stanley’s projection of a $60T humanoid market by 2050. NVIDIA aims to dominate through its full-stack ecosystem, bridging AI models, autonomous systems, and simulation tools to power smart factories and cities. (100 words)

OpenAI launched Deep Research, an agentic AI feature enhancing ChatGPT’s multi-stage analytical workflows by autonomously synthesizing vetted online sources. Operational in complex domains like financial modeling and supply chain risk, it achieved 26.6% problem-solving accuracy across 3,000 cross-disciplinary questions (vs. 9.4% for competitors) and 72.57% on the GAIA benchmark. While outperforming prior models in rigor and documentation, limitations persist in resolving conflicting data and probabilistic reasoning. Initially available to Pro-tier users, deployment excludes EU jurisdictions, raising compliance concerns for sectors requiring calibrated confidence thresholds.

The ISG Provider Lens™ report (September 2025) analyzes how AI, including GenAI and agentic technologies, transforms finance and accounting outsourcing (FAO) by shifting vendors from back-office roles to strategic partners. Across 48 providers in four domains—invoice-to-pay, order-to-cash, R2R/tax, and FP&A—AI automates workflows, reduces manual tasks by 60%, enables real-time insights, and supports predictive financial planning. The study evaluates innovation, global adoption, and vendor capabilities, emphasizing AI co-pilots, blockchain integrations, and tools turning spreadsheets into dashboards, to help enterprises benchmark partners reshaping CFO priorities and operational agility.
