Senior Agentic AI Data Scientist Equifax
Zihao Wang

Zihao Wang builds production multi-agent systems at Equifax, where he designs LangGraph-based supervisor–specialist–auditor architectures that bring agentic AI into a heavily regulated enterprise. His work centers on a conviction directly relevant to this panel: trust in autonomous systems isn't messaged into existence, it's engineered — through provenance, auditability, and human-reviewable decision trails that let organizations scale agentic execution without surrendering control or accountability.

Across earlier roles, Zihao specialized in training and fine-tuning domain-specific vertical models, building systems tuned to the language and constraints of particular industries rather than relying on general-purpose models off the shelf. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Emory University and a Master's in Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, and brings a practitioner's perspective on why agentic AI stalls between pilot and production — and the design and governance choices that get it unstuck.

Agentic AI Week 2026 Day One Conference: Wednesday, November 11 2026

11:30 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: TRUST BEFORE AUTONOMY - WHY AGENTIC AI STALLS IN THE REAL WORLD

As organizations move from pilot to production with agentic AI, many initiatives stall not due to technical limitations, but a lack of trust in autonomous decision-making. Unclear risk boundaries, inconsistent validation, and limited transparency prevent scale. This panel explores why trust is the foundational constraint to autonomy and how organisations can design systems, governance, and operating models that enable confidence in agentic execution while maintaining control and accountability.

• Identify trust gaps that prevent agentic AI from scaling beyond pilots 

• Design governance models that enable safe autonomous decision-making 

• Build transparency mechanisms to support confidence in AI-driven actions 

• Align risk thresholds with levels of workflow autonomy
