AI is everywhere—but what is it, really? In this episode, we cut through the noise to explore the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, from narrow AI and reactive systems to generative models, AI agents, and the emerging frontier of agentic AI. Using insights from expert sources, articles, and research papers, we break down key concepts in simple, accessible terms.You'll learn how tools like ChatGPT work under the hood, why generative AI felt like such a leap, and what it actually means for an AI to be an agent—or part of a multi-agent system. We explore the real capabilities and limits of today’s AI, as well as the ethical and societal questions shaping its future.
