Two distinct design philosophies currently define how autonomous intelligent systems engage with the world: AI agents and agentic AI. The terms are similar, but they represent technologies with different attributes. The purpose of this introductory post is to distinguish between AI agents and agentic AI, introduce use cases from business and academia, and explore just a few of the ethical and practical consequences of implementing agentic systems. At the end I'll leave you with lots of resources that I am finding helpful in navigating this topic.
From academic research to applied financial analytics, Tatiana’s journey shows how strong methodological foundations and thoughtful use of tools like SAS can support a confident transition from study into professional practice.

Running loops which take hours to finish. The window/panel is freezed, which is not big deal.
But like to check out some datasets in between to fathom any possible scenario.
How to do? Just sleep(3*60*1000) alike is fine?!
