Panel Discussion: AI Everywhere - Now What?  Scaling intelligence with responsibility and ROI

AI is now the engine under the hood of nearly every tech play. So how do we scale it ethically and sustainably?

• Enabling real-time decisions with AI
• AI use cases in enterprise workflows

Sovereignty, Tokenomics and the new Agentic Operating Model

With the "Era of Experimentation" ending, only 8% of firms see ROI despite 95% adoption; in APAC, $245M average investments now face an "Inference Inflection" where token costs rival human payroll, demanding a shift to a new enterprise operating model. In this session, we will explore three strategic indicators for navigating a sustainable, hybrid human-agent workforce:

• Sovereignty as Strategy: Move beyond "proprietary model rentals" by owning model weights and infrastructure to secure intellectual property and ensure long-term architectural freedom.
• The Tokenomics Shift: Internalize the "AI Factory" to transition from opaque vendor fees to granular unit economics, allowing independent optimization of infrastructure, models, and inference to protect marginal costs at scale.
• The Agentic Workforce: Navigate the shift to a hybrid workforce by operationalizing a "Bring Your Own Agent" (BYOA) strategy through secure, standardized orchestration of autonomous digital teammates.

Presented by: Steve Shirkey, Director, APAC AI Platform
