Artificial Intelligence has evolved from simple rule-based chatbots to autonomous, goal-driven AI agents capable of reasoning, decision-making, and multi-modal interactions.

In this keynote, Yoav Barel shares his unique perspective on the evolution of AI, where we are headed, and what organizations and individuals must do to build, deploy, and govern AI agents that drive real-world impact.
