#28 - The Human Question in the Age of AI

#29 - AI Literacy Isn't Optional Anymore

AI is showing up in every tool, every workflow, and every job description. But understanding how to use it is still treated like something you either pick up on your own or just don't bother with. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode features some of the members of the Women Who Qlik group: Stephanie Robinson, Priscila Paolinelli, and Gwen Stamp. In this episode, they talk about what AI literacy actually means in practice. Not the hype version. The real one, where you have to figure out what these tools are good at, where they fall short, and how to build enough confidence to have an opinion about it. The conversation gets into why literacy matters more than technical skill right now, what gets in the way of people actually learning, and what it looks like when a community decides to take that seriously.

#28 - The Human Question in the Age of AI

Every conversation around AI seems to orbit the same themes. Speed. Scale. Capability. What systems can now do without us. But beneath that momentum, a quieter question keeps surfacing, one that is harder to measure and harder to answer. If the system writes, decides, recommends, and acts, what is left for the human? Not in theory, but in practice. Not as a slogan, but as a responsibility. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode features Mike Capone, recorded at Qlik Connect 2026 in Orlando. In what would become one of his final interviews as CEO of Qlik, Mike reflects on the human side of artificial intelligence. From accountability and leadership to AI literacy and decision making under pressure, this conversation moves away from what AI can do and focuses on what people must still do. After more than eight years leading Qlik through growth, transformation, and the expansion into AI, we close with appreciation for his leadership and the clarity he brought to a moment that demands more than technology.

#27 - Using Data to End Human Trafficking

We often speak about data as a business asset. Something that improves efficiency, increases revenue, or sharpens decisions. But there are moments when data steps outside the boardroom and into something far more consequential. When it becomes a tool not just for insight, but for intervention. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode was recorded at the Data Voyagers lounge during Qlik Connect. Joined by Ashleigh Chapman, Human Rights Lawyer and founder of Engage Together, we explore how data and the Qlik platform are being used in the fight against human trafficking. From fragmented information to coordinated intelligence, this conversation reveals what happens when analytics is applied where the stakes are human lives, and where the goal is not optimization, but impact.

#26 - Agentic AI: Between Control and Autonomy

Artificial intelligence has been moving fast. It writes, summarizes, recommends, and explains. It feels capable, even reliable. But behind most of these systems there is still a quiet limitation. They wait. They respond. They depend on us to take the next step. Agentic AI changes that. It takes a goal and turns it into action. It plans, selects tools, executes tasks, and adjusts along the way. The shift is subtle at first, but its impact is not. When systems move from answering to acting, the questions around control, responsibility, and trust become harder to ignore. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode explores what Agentic AI really is, how it works through skills and orchestration, and how it is already reshaping workflows across industries. From architecture to governance, from productivity to risk, we discuss what happens when execution is no longer manual. Because in the end, the challenge is not building systems that can act. It is deciding how much control we are willing to give up. Subscribe to the Data Voyagers Podcast wherever you get your podcasts and share the show with friends and colleagues.

#25 - Closing the Loop in Analytics

Dashboards are everywhere. Clean, interactive, and full of answers. They show us trends, highlight risks, and point to opportunities. But there is a quiet assumption behind most analytics systems, that once the insight is delivered, the job is done. It rarely is. Because insight without action is just observation. And action without context often leads to poor decisions. The real challenge is not only understanding the data, but creating a loop where people can contribute back to it, add meaning, capture decisions, and keep the system alive. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode features Mária Oreská, Chief Product Officer at Inphinity and Qlik Partner Ambassador. From her background in applied mathematics to her experience as a Qlik developer and product leader, we explore the missing layer of analytics, the space where insight becomes action. We discuss writeback, workflows, and process intelligence, the role of the Qlik ecosystem, the Inphinity Champions program, and what to expect from Qlik Connect 2026. Because in the end, analytics is not a destination. It is a loop. Subscribe to the Data Voyagers Podcast wherever you get your podcasts and share the show with friends and colleagues.
