Generative AI Week 2025 Day One Conference: Tuesday, November 11 2025

11:10 AM Panel Discussion: Tangible Steps Towards Agentic AI for Transformational Enterprise Success

As enterprises push beyond static AI models, agentic AI is emerging as a key driver of autonomous decision-making and adaptive workflows. These AI systems go beyond execution—they perceive, plan, and act dynamically within complex business environments. This panel will explore how enterprises can architect, deploy, and scale agentic AI to unlock new efficiencies and innovation.

  • Architecting agentic AI: Frameworks, orchestration strategies, and multi-agent collaboration.
  • Integrating LLM-powered agents with enterprise data systems and APIs.
  • Designing guardrails for reliability, interpretability, and compliance.
  • Optimizing feedback loops: Reinforcement learning, retrieval-augmented generation, and self-improvement mechanisms.
  • Scaling agentic AI across the enterprise: Infrastructure, compute considerations, and cost-efficiency.
