AI & The Next Economy Live

Most companies aren't failing because their AI models underperform — they're stalling because no one has clarity on who owns the workflow once AI is in place. That insight from Anand Mahurkar cuts to the core of why so many initiatives never move beyond pilot mode.

Decision rights, not algorithms, become the real bottleneck. This event doesn’t just spotlight that truth — it builds a roadmap around it. From Mahurkar’s keynote on transformation to the live case study with Sam Goldberg and Paul Carlile, the focus stays on practical hurdles: aligning business objectives with AI capabilities, navigating organizational constraints, and redefining ownership in a world where machines influence outcomes.

The breakout sessions deepen the conversation. Everything You Learned About Prompting Is Wrong challenges outdated tactics, reframing prompting as an iterative dialogue rather than a formula to memorize. That shift mirrors the broader theme: success isn’t about technical perfection, it’s about clarity, context, and collaboration.

From Pilot to P&L tackles the leap from experimentation to real financial impact — a transition where most initiatives die. Venkat Venkatraman and Mahurkar examine how to redesign operating models, assign accountability, and track meaningful metrics. Meanwhile, Michel Anteby’s session on Leading an AI-Confident Workforce addresses the human side: trust, identity, and communication. Because no amount of innovation sticks if people feel sidelined.

This isn’t a conference about flashy tools. It’s about the less glamorous, far more critical work of aligning people, processes, and decisions in an AI-augmented world. For leaders tired of hype and ready for execution, it’s exactly where the conversation should be.

Curious how to turn AI experiments into lasting value? The answers lie less in code — and more in clarity. Dive into the full agenda to see how these experts are bridging the gap.
