This Horizon examines how enterprises can manage and govern AI systems responsibly. Learn about best practices for implementing control mechanisms, maintaining operational excellence, and mitigating risks as AI scales. Speakers will share frameworks and insights on building systems that are accountable, trustworthy, and aligned with organizational goals.

Agents can utilize tools to access real time data and to invoke business logic. Agentic applications can even generate execution plans how multiple agents should be orchestrated for specific tasks. While the capabilities are evolving quickly, agents don't always work reliably. Developers and AI Engineers need to understand how these systems work to improve them. Because of the level of complexity, observability for agents is even more important than for Large Language Models only. In this session you'll learn why observability and transparency are key topics for agents and how the open-source agent framework 'Bee' helps developers to understand agentic flows.

The German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz not only conceived binary computing, but also revolutionized logical and mathematical calculi. Famous for the introduction of infinitesimal calculus, Leibniz’s actual aim was to develop a calculus in order to derive “everything that sensory perception [...] empirically recognizes by means of a reliable calculation and proof procedure from the symbols.” Over a period of more than forty years (1670 to 1716) he invented this calculus which he called “Analysis situ” – a forerunner of modern topology, a masterpiece in symbolic logic, as well as the basis of modern AI. However, the path that Leibniz opened up with his Analysis situ also introduced path dependencies that challenge today’s AI development. Taking Leibniz's visionary dreams back to the future, the lecture will discuss five fundamental challenges as to why AGI cannot be achieved in this way from a philosophical perspective.

In his presentation, Frank Giroux from Bayer explores the integration of generative AI in supply chain management, discussing the challenges and opportunities encountered since 2023. He emphasizes the unique requirements of supply chain management and shares key lessons learned throughout this journey. Giroux points out that both AI technology and the existing information structures in large organizations lack the maturity necessary for achieving quick wins in the short term. Ultimately, he advocates for empowering employees and embedding AI into organizational strategies, as intelligent agents offer a perfect approach to teach teams navigate the uncertainties associated with AI.

AI adoption in large organizations is often plagued by skepticism, failed pilots, and overcomplicated architectures. This masterclass provides a pragmatic roadmap for business transformation leaders, product teams, and AI strategists to unlock real value from AI.
