Agents of Change: Why Agentic AI is Going to Change the Way we do Business?
AI agents are not a new idea, but their rapid adoption is. As the initial LLM hype settles, agentic AI is poised to become the next major wave in technology and organizations that fail to explore it risk falling behind.
But with greater autonomy comes new risks. AI agents can perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with systems in ways that traditional LLMs cannot, creating both exciting opportunities and novel security challenges.
In this session, we’ll explore how AI agents differ from LLMs, where agentic AI can create real value, and what security and operational risks organizations need to consider before putting agents to work.
The session will cover:
AI Agents vs. LLMs: What’s the difference?
The potential of agentic AI: How agents can transform the way we work
Advantages and risks: Understanding both the opportunities and the emerging security challenges
What to consider before adoption: Navigating the risks that come with autonomous AI
