Agentic AI: From Buzz to Business Transformation

Agentic AI is more than a buzzword — it’s a fundamental shift in how enterprises build, operate, and innovate with artificial intelligence. In this keynote, Sanjay Srivastava breaks down the concept of agentic AI through real-world examples, clearly distinguishing it from traditional AI agents. He explains how agentic AI systems are designed not just to respond, but to pursue goals, adapt autonomously, and collaborate fluidly with people and other systems — opening the door to a new era of enterprise capability. Sanjay explores where agentic AI is already delivering results today, and what it takes to move from pilot to production in enterprise settings. He introduces the three critical human roles that shape this transition — the builder, the translator, and the user — and how each must evolve. Looking ahead, Sanjay outlines how organizations must transform to thrive in the age of agentic systems, including: Skilling: Rethinking how we develop talent in AI-native environments Operating Models: Shifting from workflows to dynamic agent networks Org Structure: Reimagining decision rights, governance, and collaboration between humans and machines
