Season 9 of Utilizing Tech opens with a focus on Agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI. Hosts Stephen Foskett, Frederic Van Haren, and Guy Currier highlight AI’s growing importance and set the stage for exploring intelligent systems that reason and act more autonomously.
Agentic AI introduces agents that simulate reasoning, unlike traditional models that respond instantly. A key enabler is the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which lets agents request and share context dynamically, making AI more adaptive, modular, and capable of handling complex tasks.
The episode also addresses challenges like unpredictability and the need for guardrails. The hosts emphasize AI’s role in augmenting human intelligence and preview future episodes focused on real-world applications, industry use cases, and responsible AI development.
