About this event
On 10 December, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., WhatNext.Law and Capgemini are organising the event ‘Agents of Change — Agentic AI and the Future of Decision-Making’, which will take place at the VdA office in Lisbon.
The evolution of artificial intelligence technologies with agentic capabilities is profoundly reshaping the decision-making process, both at the individual and organizational levels. In a context where these tools are beginning to act as true autonomous agents, it is important to reflect on the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities that this transformation brings for the future of society and the law.
The event will be mainly in Portuguese, with some panels in English, and will bring together experts who will explore the intersection between agentic AI, decision-making processes, ethics, technology, and governance.
The meeting will end with a cocktail reception, inviting participants and speakers to share and network.
Access here the report about the rise of Agentic AI.
