Agentic AI Is Distributed Systems. Part 1: The Map Every AI Engineer Should Have Memorized

Every major agentic AI pattern has a named distributed systems ancestor going back decades. MoA is ensemble computing. ReAct is a control loop. AutoGen is the actor model. LangGraph is a workflow engine. Multi-agent coordination is a blackboard system. This article maps each AI concept to its CS lineage, explains what that means for engineers building today, and names the three problems that genuinely have no distributed systems precedent — the real frontier where new thinking is required.
