Agenda

AI agents are evolving from simple task executors to intelligent partners that can remember, reason, and work together autonomously. This panel explores frontier advances in AI memory systems, decision-making capabilities, and multi-agent collaboration – and how service providers are actively reshaping the way enterprises engage with and operate through these systems. From AI research to global cloud infrastructure to cross-border financial services, the panellists bring distinct vantage points on what this transformation looks like in practice, and what leaders must do to stay ahead of it.

Embodied AI is moving from labs into homes and public spaces. As deployments accelerate, challenges in data collection, methodology, and governance are becoming urgent. This panel convenes leaders in robotics, policy, and AI research to examine how advances in hardware, simulation, and learning models are redefining humanoid intelligence and what standards and safeguards are needed for widescale adoption.

Artificial intelligence has spent years proving itself in the digital world — optimising algorithms, generating content, predicting behaviour. The next frontier is far more unforgiving: the physical one. FieldAI is building AI that operates where the stakes are highest — construction sites, manufacturing floors, data centres, and disaster zones — environments that are dull, dirty, and dangerous, where GPS fails, maps don't exist, and waiting for human instruction is not an option. In this fireside chat, Dr Shayegan Omidshafiei takes us inside the science and strategy of autonomous physical intelligence. With hundreds of mission deployments across three continents and backing from some of the world's most consequential investors, FieldAI offers a rare and compelling glimpse into what happens when AI stops talking and starts doing.

Enterprise transformation no longer needs to take years. Agentic AI platforms are enabling organisations to redesign operations end-to-end through intelligent, autonomous agents that orchestrate change continuously. This panel explores how forward-thinking leaders are building AI-native enterprises, the competitive advantages they're gaining, and what it takes to make this shift successfully in your organisation.

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming research and development, accelerating discovery timelines from years to months and uncovering insights impossible through traditional methods. From drug discovery to climate modelling, AI is enabling entirely new approaches to scientific inquiry. This session explores how leading institutions are leveraging AI to push the boundaries of innovation and what this paradigm shift means for the future of discovery.
