Event description
This month, we’re thrilled to host a panel of AI leaders to explore Agentic AI. These cutting-edge tools are designed to perform tasks autonomously with minimal human intervention, making them goal-oriented (programmed to achieve specific objectives), adaptable (capable of learning from interactions), and autonomous (able to generate outputs without continuous guidance).
From enhancing local public service delivery by handling vital public sector functions to transforming private sector productivity, Agentic AI holds immense potential to redefine the way we work and how we serve our communities.
But what are the specific opportunities that the adoption, deployment and use of Agentic AI could bring across all sector and industries? Are there barriers or possible risks associated with the use of Agentic AI that need to be considered and how can these be overcome? How can the public and private sectors best utilise its transformative potential? This session will explore these issues and much more.
Also, in light of the Government’s recent publication of Matt Clifford’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, we’ll explore the role that Agentic AI can play in supporting the objectives and delivery of the AI Action Plan.
