Reframing Intelligence: Leading in the Age of Agentic AI

AI in 2026 looks nothing like the AI most leaders first encountered. This session resets your mental model — from generative tools that draft and summarize, to agentic systems that reason, plan, and act with growing autonomy. In the spirit of the entrepreneurial mindset it replaces, the session is about unlearning outdated assumptions and building a fresh, first-principles lens on what's actually possible, so you can spot opportunity where others still see hype or fear.
