Event Description

Artificial Intelligence is moving beyond answering questions and generating images—it’s beginning to act.

“Agentic AI” refers to systems that can make decisions, set goals, and take action in the real (and digital) world on our behalf. But how close are we to AI that behaves like an autonomous assistant, a digital colleague, or even a self-directed problem-solver?

In this lively, interactive session, experts will peel back the curtain on what “agentic AI” really means. Through live demonstrations, engaging thought experiments, and audience participation, you’ll discover:

• How today’s AI agents can already book flights, write code, or manage tasks.
• The potential opportunities in healthcare, science, and everyday life.
• The big questions around trust, safety, and responsibility when machines act independently.
  Featuring live demos, thought-provoking experiments, and plenty of time for audience questions, this is your chance to glimpse the future of AI in action.
