In 2026, the gap between companies "testing" AI and companies "running" on AI has become a chasm. In this segment of The Data Chief, Paul Baier, CEO and Co-Founder of @GAIInsights, explains why the honeymoon phase of Generative AI is over and the era of Agentic AI has officially arrived. Paul breaks down how leading enterprises are pulling ahead by moving beyond simple chatbots to autonomous agents that can plan, reason, and execute complex workflows. If you want to know how to reshape your enterprise operating model to stay competitive, this is the field guide you’ve been looking for.

As we move toward a future of autonomous agents, the biggest hurdle isn't the AI's intelligence—it’s the governance. In this segment of The Data Chief, Rory Blundell, CEO of @Graviteesource , explores the critical infrastructure needed to move agents from "experimental" to "enterprise-grade." Rory explains how the agentic era is fundamentally redefining API integration and why many organizations are hitting a "maturity wall." Learn how to build the security frameworks and management layers necessary to give your agents the power to act without compromising your brand’s trust or security.
