TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 8:30am - 9:30am -
AI systems in 2026 no longer just recommend —they act. Gartner predicts 40% of enterprise applications will integrate task-specific AI agents by year-end, yet Deloitte's research shows only 11% of organizations currently have agentic AI in production. This session introduces executives to the most consequential shift in enterprise AI adoption and explores how it affects how organizations govern, deploy, and trust autonomous AI systems.
Key questions explored:
- How do governance models change when AI takes autonomous action?
- What does "bounded autonomy" look like in practice?
- How do we treat AI agents as accountable members of the workforce?
