Why agents are the next frontier of generative AI | McKinsey
- “agentic” systems refer to digital systems that can independently interact in a dynamic world.
- Gen AI agents eventually could act as skilled virtual coworkers, working with humans in a seamless and natural manner.
- a human user could direct a gen AI–enabled agent system to accomplish a complex workflow. A multiagent system could then interpret and organize this workflow into actionable tasks, assign work to specialized agents, execute these refined tasks using a digital ecosystem of tools, and collaborate with other agents and humans to iteratively improve the quality of its actions
- Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and others have invested in software libraries and frameworks to support agentic functionality.
- shifting from being knowledge-based to becoming more action-based.
- The value that agents can unlock comes from their potential to automate a long tail of complex use cases characterized by highly variable inputs and outputs
- Agents can manage multiplicity
- Agent systems can be directed with natural language.
- Because agentic systems use natural language as a form of instruction, even complex workflows can be encoded more quickly and easily.
- done by nontechnical employees
- Foundation models can learn how to interface with tools, whether through natural language or other interfaces.
- control mechanisms are essential to balance autonomy and risk
- create a learning flywheel for ongoing improvement

Counting U.S. Secondary and Postsecondary Credentials Report (2022) | Credential Engine

- Ninety-five percent of those surveyed said they saw benefits from microcredentials, particularly because they show an employee’s willingness to develop their skills (76 percent); demonstrate initiative (63 percent) and are an easy way to communicate employee competencies and skills (60 percent).
- Organizational leaders were particularly interested in stackable credentials leading to a degree with 80 percent saying that increased their appeal.
- Microcredentials can play a critical role in the new economy. However, similar to how online degrees were perceived two decades ago, some are critical about the quality of non-degree programs, despite a lack of evidence to support a systematic problem,
- organizational leaders value microcredentials and non-degree programming but are often unaware of them
- a pervasive issue lies in their standardization and how to properly assess the validity and applicability of courses and certifications
- 20 percent of survey respondents had little or no concern that non-degree or alternative credentials will have an adverse effect on the workforce, 17 percent were concerned about wrong/not relevant credentials/lack critical skills/training, 12 percent cited quality of education/validating credentials, and 11 percent specified a lack of educational/professional experience
- When choosing a college or university to collaborate with to develop a microcredential program, organizational leaders said they are incentivized by proof of program effectiveness (65 percent) and more than 50 percent want to play a role in the program’s development.
- While the report reveals a significant microcredential market opportunity for higher ed, only 44 percent of organizations reported having been approached by a college or university about a potential program

The Rise and Future of Microcredentials in Higher Education | BestColleges
-
Microcredentials are short, stackable, and skills-based non-degree credentials. -
Researchers estimated a 95% increase in the availability of microcredential programs between 2021 and 2022.Note Reference [1] -
Popular microcredential providers include EdX, Coursera, LinkedIn, Udacity, and many four-year colleges and universities. -
Companies looking to upskill their workforces in a period of rapid digital transformation may turn to microcredentials as a solution.
- Enter the concept of microcredentials: short, stackable, non-degree credits that help learners build competencies and show off their skills to employers.
- Microcredentials are gaining popularity among employers — who need to rapidly train employees in emerging fields — and among career climbers who want to advance in the workforce in a timely and cost-effective way.
- Microcredentials are short learning modules
- Often, students can stack, combine, or bundle microcredentials to demonstrate subject mastery.
- Short: You can earn a microcredential in less time than a degree. For example, Oregon State University's microcredentials consist of 9-12 credits. A full bachelor's degree is 180 credit
- Stackable: You can collect microcredentials or digital badges to demonstrate more advanced skills. For example, the University of Central Oklahoma offers microcredential bundles in computer science, diversity and inclusion, and more subjects. And at SUNY Broom Community College, you can apply credits earned in a web development microcredential toward an associate degree in web development.
- Skills-Based: By the end of the program, you should be able to demonstrate a specific competency or ability, like viral content creation, machine learning for business, or classroom management for educators
- The European Commission has offered a clear definition for microcredentials, stating that they represent
records of learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a small volume of learning, which is assessed against transparent and clearly defined criteria
- In other words, for a course of study to qualify as a microcredential, it must meet a certain quality standard and provide proof that students learned something.

Resource Description Framework - Wikipedia
- The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard originally designed as a data model for metadata.
- RDF is a directed graph composed of triple statements.
- Each of the three parts of the statement can be identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
- his mechanism for describing resources is a major component in the W3C's Semantic Web activity: an evolutionary stage of the World Wide Web in which automated software can store, exchange, and use machine-readable information distributed throughout the Web, in turn enabling users to deal with the information with greater efficiency and certainty. RDF's simple data model and ability to model disparate, abstract concepts has also led to its increasing use in knowledge management applications unrelated to Semantic Web activity.
