The Anatomy of Merchant Trust Roundtable

From AI Copilots to an Agentic Workplace

01

The workplace is entering its next phase — from AI as a copilot to AI as an agent that can plan, decide, and act. For enterprises, this shift promises a step-change in productivity, but it also raises new questions of trust, governance, and organisational readiness.

02

This roundtable brings together senior leaders to discuss what it takes to move from experimentation with AI agents to a genuinely agentic workplace — one where autonomous systems are embedded safely and productively into everyday business operations.

03

The conversation will explore where agentic AI can create the most business value, what guardrails leaders need before extending autonomy to AI systems, and how organisations should prepare their people, data, and processes for this transformation.

Key Takeaways

01

Get aligned with stakeholders by clearly defining goals, priorities, and success metrics for agentic AI adoption.

02

Trust must be built deliberately — through transparency, guardrails, and human oversight — before agents are given greater autonomy.

03

Secure, governed platforms are the foundation for scaling agents responsibly across the business.

04

Business transformation with agentic AI requires rethinking workflows and roles, not just deploying new technology.
