Modernizing the Old Guard: Deploying AI in Legacy Industries Without Breaking the System

AI is revolutionizing logistics, real estate, infrastructure, and manufacturing—but retrofitting these legacy systems with intelligent agents isn’t plug-and-play. In this session, Rakia Finley, draws from 20+ years of digital transformation experience to unpack how to successfully implement AI in industries where the stakes are high, and the systems are brittle.

This session will explore what it takes to modernize outdated workflows with agentic AI—while maintaining operational continuity, regulatory compliance, and human oversight. Attendees will leave with an actionable roadmap to evolve enterprise systems that weren’t built for intelligence into ones that can scale it.

What You’ll Learn:
- Key challenges and risks of introducing agentic AI into legacy industries
- How to bridge the gap between old infrastructure and new intelligent workflows
- Tools and methods for AI-readiness assessments in traditional enterprises
- Strategies for aligning stakeholders around automation without resistance
- Real use cases from construction, infrastructure, and real estate transformation
