AI agents can dramatically accelerate your ability to react to new information and make trusted decisions—but only when they have the right context from your data.

However, preparing datasets for each individual AI use case is time-consuming and expensive—hindered by fragmented data landscapes, inconsistent governance and data complexity.

In this session, learn how to power AI agents with real-time context from unstructured and structured data across hybrid data landscapes—without migration. Empower your AI agents and your business to act with confidence.

Speakers:

  • Ed Anuff, CPO Data, IBM Software, IBM
  • Praveen Vemulapalli, Director & CDO, AT&T

Date: TBD

AI doesn’t deliver value in the lab—it delivers in production. In this live demo, see how IBM moves from building agents with IBM® Bob to running them at scale with watsonx Orchestrate®, the enterprise AI control plane. We’ll show how agents go from creation to real-world deployment, with full visibility, governance and control. This is what enterprise AI looks like when it’s not a pilot—but a system you can trust and scale.

Speaker:

Victor Povar, Generative & Agentic AI Sales Leader, IBM

Managing expectations of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities without addressing data proliferation and inaccessibility is the most immediate data leadership challenge. Data teams are struggling with siloed data, real-time data processing and data quality issues. Technical debt, tool sprawl and skills shortage further intensify these challenges.
