AI Agentique Ready ? Les DSI face à la nouvelle ère de l’autonomie
L’IA entre dans une nouvelle ère : celle de l’autonomie. Après l’acculturation et les premiers déploiements d’assistants génératifs, les entreprises abordent désormais la phase agentique, où l’IA ne se contente plus d’aider mais agit. Cette session explore les enjeux technologiques, organisationnels et éthiques de cette transformation, et la manière dont les DSI peuvent préparer leurs organisations à cette révolution.
