Now, let’s talk about what’s pushing the edge of automation in 2025... 👀

🧠💼 In today's episode, we unpack the 2025 UiPath Agentic AI Report: Preparing for the Agentic Era, published by UiPath Agentic Automation. This report dives into the bold new frontier of Agentic AI — a space where AI agents, automation, and human oversight blend to tackle complex business operations autonomously.

Think smarter bots, deeper integrations, and oversight that’s not just smart... but strategic. 🧩🤖

And who better to lead us into this new age than the dynamic duo of AI and automation thought leadership:

📘 Tom Davenport, a name synonymous with analytics and enterprise innovation, whose fingerprints are all over bestsellers like Competing on Analytics and All In on AI. With roles at Babson, UVA, and MIT, he's been shaping the way leaders think about tech for decades.

💡 Alongside him, Ian Barkin, co-founder of Symphony Ventures and a true trailblazer in digital ops and hyperautomation. His practical insights have powered companies and professionals alike — and if you’ve watched any of his LinkedIn Learning courses, you know exactly what we mean.

Together, they’ve co-authored All Hands on Tech, and their fingerprints are all over the findings we’ll break down today — from early adoption data to the enterprise implications of this cutting-edge AI paradigm.

So get ready — we’re talking security tradeoffs, cost concerns, integration headaches, and of course, the massive upside if we get this right.

🧠💬 But here’s the question to kick it all off:

If Agentic AI can truly operate autonomously… where does that leave you in the process? 🤖🧑‍💼👀

Let’s find out — only on Weekend Hustlers. 🎧🔥
