Exploring the use of AI agents? Trust leaders share their experience

AI agents are moving quickly from experimentation to practical use. This session explores the early decisions leaders face when beginning to work with AI agents: governance, oversight, training, testing and safe piloting. Trust leaders will share what has worked, what hasn’t and the lessons learned. Discussion will include how their organisations are defining boundaries for AI, deciding what data agents should access, and building confidence before wider deployment, offering practical insights to help trusts explore AI agents thoughtfully. Speakers to be confirmed.
