The Era of Agentic AI: From Predictive Insights to Autonomous Decision-Making

Abstract:

The analytics revolution has taken us from descriptive dashboards to predictive models, but the next frontier is already here: Agentic AI—intelligent systems that don’t just analyze but reason, adapt, and act. In this keynote, Naveen Edapurath Vijayan, a data engineering and AI leader who has architected large-scale predictive and decision-making systems, explores how enterprises can move beyond static reporting and predictive outputs to autonomous decision engines.

Drawing on real-world experience in financial technology and workforce analytics, he discusses:

• Why predictive models alone are no longer enough in fast-changing business environments.
• The architecture of supervisor–subagent systems that enable AI agents to collaborate, specialize, and make context-aware decisions.
• The critical role of human-in-the-loop governance to ensure trust, fairness, and accountability in high-stakes domains.
• How organizations can build a practical roadmap to adopt agentic AI, starting from existing predictive pipelines.

As AI shifts from being an advisor to an active decision-maker, leaders must rethink how they design, monitor, and scale these systems. This session offers a strategic framework and actionable insights for embracing agentic AI to drive faster, context-rich, and autonomous decision-making at scale.
