Synopsis
Homomorphic Encryption
What if you could analyse data without ever seeing it? Homomorphic encryption makes that possible, and it’s closer to real-world adoption than you might think. In this talk, we'll explore what it is, how it can be used, and why it’s poised to reshape the future of secure computing.
Agentic AI
AI is evolving beyond simple automation into systems that can reason, make decisions, and work towards goals. In this session, we'll explore what Agentic AI is and how it can transform everyday business processes using a real-world finance example. You'll see how Agentic AI differs from traditional automation by handling unexpected situations, working with incomplete information, and knowing when to involve people.
We'll also look at what organisations need to adopt Agentic AI safely, including governance, security, and human oversight. You'll leave with a practical understanding of where Agentic AI can deliver value today - and what it takes to use it responsibly.
