[Panel] Agentic AI Is Here: How to Deploy Autonomous Agents Without Losing Control

The latest wave of agentic AI launches - tools designed to plug directly into corporate workflows—signals a clear shift: AI is moving from “assistant” to operator. That change is already rippling through boardrooms and markets, because it reshapes how work gets done, how decisions are made, and where new revenue and cost advantages will come from and importantly – who will stay in the market and who won’t. First movers will capture outsized gains—but only if they can deploy agents safely, credibly, and at scale.
This panel brings together practitioners who deployed AI, regulators, researchers, and senior executives to cut through hype and focus on implementation: what it takes to introduce autonomous agents into industry (from finance to resources), professional services, and operational environments without triggering new conduct, compliance, cyber, or systemic risks. We will discuss practical governance and accountability, and controls (including escalation and shut-down mechanisms), how existing risk frameworks translate to an agentic world, and what “trustworthy” agent-mediated customer and employee experiences look like.
