About this episode

This episode explores the concept of Agentic AI, its capabilities, and the implications of shifting from systems that respond to those that act autonomously.

Artificial intelligence has been moving fast. It writes, summarizes, recommends, and explains. It feels capable, even reliable. But behind most of these systems there is still a quiet limitation. They wait. They respond. They depend on us to take the next step. Agentic AI changes that. It takes a goal and turns it into action. It plans, selects tools, executes tasks, and adjusts along the way. The shift is subtle at first, but its impact is not. When systems move from answering to acting, the questions around control, responsibility, and trust become harder to ignore. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode explores what Agentic AI really is, how it works through skills and orchestration, and how it is already reshaping workflows across industries. From architecture to governance, from productivity to risk, we discuss what happens when execution is no longer manual. Because in the end, the challenge is not building systems that can act. It is deciding how much control we are willing to give up. Subscribe to the Data Voyagers Podcast wherever you get your podcasts and…
