Agentic artificial intelligence—AI systems capable of independent, adaptive decision-making and problem-solving in real time to achieve specific goals—is a significant step toward the creation of a digital labor force that can produce notable gains in efficiency, productivity, innovation and user experience, while enabling humans to shift their focus to more strategic, valuable roles and responsibilities. A robust panel will discuss how agentic AI will create a powerful digital labor force, where agentic AI systems can best be utilized in the financial services industry, what skills are required to manage large language model (LLM) agentic workflows, and what challenges need to be addressed—issues around transparency, privacy, security and computing resources—to scale enterprise-wide and fully deliver on its performance promise.
