Description
In this episode of DX Today, we analyze the pivotal shifts from the World Economic Forum 2026 meeting in Davos, where the global conversation evolved from the initial hype of generative AI to what leaders are calling the Great Adaptation. We explore how the international community is moving beyond pilot projects into a new era of operational reality characterized by agentic orchestration, where autonomous systems execute complex multi-step workflows. With the IMF projecting a potential 0.8 percent boost to global growth, we dive into the infrastructure demands of this transition, examining why energy sovereignty and planetary boundaries have become the primary bottlenecks for scaling innovation in a contested world.We also confront the critical challenges surfacing as AI reaches maturity, specifically the urgent need for a global reskilling revolution to address growing workforce anxiety and structural shifts in labor. The discussion moves from technical capabilities to the ethical mandates of responsible deployment, highlighting how organizations are delivering tangible results while navigating a fragmented regulatory landscape. As we look toward the emergence of a full-scale agentic economy by 2027, this episode provides strategic recommendations for leaders striving to balance the drive for efficiency with the essential guardrails of sustainability, transparency, and human-centric design.
