Agenda Day 1

10:10 AM THINK TANK | THE AI PARADOX - SOLVING FOR SCALE, COST, AND GOVERNANCE

While 2025 was the year of the AI pilot, 2026 is the year of the ‘Agent Tax.’ As organisations transition from simple chatbots to autonomous agents, infrastructure costs are surging by over 166% year on year. For the CDO, the challenge is no longer ‘How do we build it?’ but ‘How do we scale it without breaking the budget or the trust of the business?’ Discover how to move beyond fragmented silos and build a governed, audit-ready architecture that provides the strategic autonomy required for the Age of AI.

• Identify the Agent Tax and pinpoint where hidden compute multipliers and Black Box costs are leaking from your 2026 budget.

• Discuss the transition from tool proliferation to a universal semantic layer to eliminate data silos.

• Learn about frameworks for ensuring AI transparency and evidence-based approvals that satisfy both the EU AI Act and UK regulatory standards.
