About this Talk
The next era of AI is here—AI agents. Named by Gartner as a top technology trend for 2025, agentic AI builds on the foundations of generative AI (GenAI), is enhanced by large action models (LAMs), and is lauded as the dawn of the autonomous era of AI. However, is agentic AI more than a shiny new tool? AI is only as powerful as the foundations it is built on, and there remain many challenges that we need to tackle, including process optimisation, digitisation, and data complexity. This session will explore the evolution of agentic AI, the implications for finance, and will separate the hype from the reality.
