厘清智能体AI的两种范式,提出融合发展的未来路径。

Agentic AI: A Comprehensive Survey of Architectures, Applications, and Future Directions

  • 区分符号式与神经生成式两大智能体范式,明确各自架构逻辑。
  • 90项研究显示:符号系统主导医疗等安全领域,神经系统胜于金融等数据密集场景。
  • 强调混合架构必要性,为研发与政策提供可信参考。

Agentic AI代表了人工智能的重大转变,但其快速发展导致理解碎片化,常将现代神经网络系统与过时的符号模型混为一谈,这种现象称为概念重构。本文通过引入一种新颖的双范式框架,将智能体系统分为两类:符号/经典范式(依赖算法规划和持久状态)与神经/生成范式(利用随机生成和提示驱动编排)。基于PRISMA方法对2018至2025年间的90项研究进行系统综述,从三个维度展开分析:(1)两类范式的理论基础与架构原则;(2)在医疗、金融、机器人等领域的具体应用,揭示应用场景如何决定范式选择;(3)范式特有的伦理与治理挑战,展现不同的风险与应对策略。分析表明,范式选择具有战略意义:符号系统在安全关键领域(如医疗)占优,神经系统则在适应性强、数据丰富的环境(如金融)中主导。此外,我们识别出关键研究缺口,包括符号系统治理模型严重不足,以及迫切需要发展混合神经-符号架构。研究最终提出一项战略路线图,主张未来Agentic AI的突破不在于单一范式的统治,而在于有意识地整合两者,构建兼具适应性与可靠性的智能系统。本工作为未来研究、开发与政策制定提供了必要的概念工具,以推动稳健、可信的混合智能系统发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Agentic AI represents a transformative shift in artificial intelligence, but its rapid advancement has led to a fragmented understanding, often conflating modern neural systems with outdated symbolic models -- a practice known as conceptual retrofitting. This survey cuts through this confusion by introducing a novel dual-paradigm framework that categorizes agentic systems into two distinct lineages: the Symbolic/Classical (relying on algorithmic planning and persistent state) and the Neural/Generative (leveraging stochastic generation and prompt-driven orchestration). Through a systematic PRISMA-based review of 90 studies (2018--2025), we provide a comprehensive analysis structured around this framework across three dimensions: (1) the theoretical foundations and architectural principles defining each paradigm; (2) domain-specific implementations in healthcare, finance, and robotics, demonstrating how application constraints dictate paradigm selection; and (3) paradigm-specific ethical and governance challenges, revealing divergent risks and mitigation strategies. Our analysis reveals that the choice of paradigm is strategic: symbolic systems dominate safety-critical domains (e.g., healthcare), while neural systems prevail in adaptive, data-rich environments (e.g., finance). Furthermore, we identify critical research gaps, including a significant deficit in governance models for symbolic systems and a pressing need for hybrid neuro-symbolic architectures. The findings culminate in a strategic roadmap arguing that the future of Agentic AI lies not in the dominance of one paradigm, but in their intentional integration to create systems that are both adaptable and reliable. This work provides the essential conceptual toolkit to guide future research, development, and policy toward robust and trustworthy hybrid intelligent systems.
