As the agentic AI market matures, where does IBM believe it has the biggest opportunity to stand out? Ricardo, Jukka and Tamara point to IBM's ethical stance and trust as an organisation, a genuinely hybrid and open approach that integrates with any technology, and the growing importance of sovereignty — deploying wherever, and however, customers need to.

What will look surprisingly primitive about today's approach to AI in just two years' time? Our panel gets out the crystal ball — covering FinOps and token cost control, the rise of context and data preparation as the next competitive battleground, maturing agentic security and agent identity, the return of AI ethics, and why edge AI could be a much bigger deal than anyone's currently planning for.

Ultimately, no one invests in AI because they want impressive technology — they want business outcomes. IBM's Mark explains why measuring AI value goes beyond cost savings to expanding your total addressable market, with a great example of a customer service business that used AI to grow capacity by 40% without compromising quality. Tamara also shares how Ask HR and Ask IT have delivered measurable, and less tangible, value across IBM.

How do you make an AI agent trustworthy enough to put into production — and what happens when it gets something wrong? IBM's Mark and Tamara explain why guardrails and governance actually create the freedom to innovate, why an agent is a tool and not a "god-like creature", and share a brilliant analogy: think of AI like a car, built to regulation, tested, and monitored throughout its life.

As every software vendor embeds their own AI agents — from CRM to ERP — how important is interoperability really? DeeperThanBlue's Tony and Chris share the systems integrator's perspective: why robust, regulatory-compliant processes matter more than raw speed, and why secure, confident access to your data and applications is critical to actually realising AI's benefits.
