Agentic AI - Doing Without Asking

Agentic AI – Doing Without Asking

Agentic AI goes beyond generative AI, it doesn't just respond to prompts, it acts independently, remembering context, executing tasks, and learning from feedback. In this solo episode, Eric breaks down what agentic AI actually is, how educators and students can benefit from it, and the risks that come with handing autonomy to an AI assistant. From reducing teacher admin burden to serving as an adaptive tutor, the potential is real — but so are the questions about data security, and whether dependence on AI comes at the cost of our own cognitive skills.

If you're working with agentic AI in education, Eric wants to hear from you.
