In this episode of Ultimate Blerds, we sit down with data engineer and AI strategist Kierra Dotson to unpack the emerging world of agentic AI—intelligent systems that can act autonomously, make decisions, and even pursue goals. We explore what makes agentic AI different from traditional tools, how it could reshape everything from work to culture, and why it's critical for Black and marginalized communities to have a voice in its development. Kierra breaks down the promise and risks of this tech, how we stay in control, and what it means to build AI that reflects our values, not just Silicon Valley’s.
