Agentic AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to enterprise reality, shifting accountability to CIOs and technology leaders. As autonomous systems act on behalf of organizations, the priority moves from enablement to trust, transparency, and human oversight. This session explores how leaders can deploy agentic AI in ways that build confidence, balance autonomy with control, and turn trust into sustainable competitive advantage.
