For years, we treated AI as a tool: something we prompt, something that responds. With Copilot Agents, this model no longer holds. AI is starting to plan, act, decide, and collaborate. In short: it becomes part of the workforce.

This keynote reframes Copilot and Agents not as features, but as a new class of digital workers. We will explore how agentic systems fundamentally change the way work gets done, how responsibility shifts between humans and machines, and why organizations need a new operating model for AI-augmented work.

Instead of focusing on technology details, this session provides a clear mental model for leaders, architects, and decision makers who want to understand what is really changing – and what stays human.

Copilot Agents mark the shift from AI as a tool to AI as a digital colleague. This keynote introduces a new mental model for work, responsibility, and collaboration in an agent-driven world.
