Manage episode 493351111 series 3463546
In this episode of Enterprise Minds, hosts Dave Dougherty, Alex Pokorny, and Ruthi Corcoran explore the evolving discussion around agentic AI and its current state. They dissect the difference between longstanding automated workflows and the emerging (yet often overstated) promise of agentic AI—technology that can reason, act, and learn independently. Through personal anecdotes, analogies, and real-world examples, they explore the current capabilities and limitations of AI tools, highlighting the critical gap between today’s practical tools and tomorrow’s intelligent agents. Packed with insights, humor (including Darth Vader ducks), and grounded analysis, this episode is a must for tech professionals, marketers, and AI enthusiasts looking to make sense of the hype and the reality.
