Andrew makes his 10th appearance on BBC Radio Bristol to talk about AI with presenter John Darvill on Agentic AI Explained: How AI Agents Will Run Your Life, Your Work and Your Shopping.
In this BBC Radio Bristol interview, AI futurist Andrew Grill unpacks why we have been looking at AI the wrong way and what the rise of agentic AI means for your work and daily life.
Andrew explains why tools like ChatGPT should not just be seen as smarter search engines, but as decision partners that help you think, plan and act. He shares how “deep research” modes can give you expert-level insight, and why being digitally curious is now essential for every professional.
You will learn
- What agentic AI and AI agents are, in plain English
- How AI agents can answer emails, schedule appointments and browse the web for you
- Why today’s business processes are not ready for agentic AI
- The trust and security risks when AI can access your accounts
- How AI agents could kill traditional advertising and start an era of “ads for robots”
Andrew also looks ahead to a world where AI agents quietly shop for your groceries, renew your car insurance and filter every offer based on your preferences, and why we may be five years away from trusting them fully.
If you want a clear, practical take on what comes after generative AI, watch this conversation and imagine how an AI agent could reshape your own work and business.
