Agentic AI has started taking over work once handled directly by human analysts across cybersecurity, anti money laundering and compliance, with autonomous systems now investigating threats, tracing funds and acting on security incidents with limited human intervention.
According to a new CertiK Intel3D report, the change goes beyond using artificial intelligence to flag suspicious activity or summarize information for analysts. Agentic systems can reason through multiple steps, call external tools and APIs, collect evidence, take actions in live environments and assess the results before deciding what to do next.
CertiK describes the emerging model as an AI security workforce, where autonomous systems operate within defined roles while human experts move toward supervision, quality control and accountability.
