Prediction text

Workflows will move from human-centric to agentic with humans doing oversight rather than being in the loop | And that's going to move to the agentic workflow where there won't be humans in the loop. They'll be doing oversight. And so what is the future of organizations in that and what's the future of the human being in the as a role of that?
