Something was different at #NYTechWeek this year—in the best way possible. Over the week of dinners, demonstrations, and conversations, leaders moved beyond pilots, focusing instead on how AI is creating measurable ROI and how to govern agents at scale. A few standouts: 👇 ———— Thanks for organizing @a16z, @andrewchen, @_CallMeMacy, and @speedrun among many others. #AI #AgenticEconomy #EnterpriseAI #NYTechWeek #AI #investors

Only 7% of asset managers have deployed agentic AI — even though 78% are actively exploring it. 88% cite regulatory and compliance as the single biggest barrier. The blocker is not the model. An agent on legacy infrastructure cannot be given bounded authority, an auditable decision trail, or the sign-off a compliance officer needs to let it touch client assets. Autonomy in asset management is an infrastructure problem before it is an intelligence problem. via @EYnews ey.com/en_us/insights/wealth…

Responsible AI: Cost center, or competitive advantage? 🛡️ At the AI Hot 100 Summit with @Mastercard, @FICO_corp, @MorganStanley, @OneCarlyle & @Experian, it was clear: trust, explainability, auditability & continuous monitoring grow adoption, scale, and ROI—not overhead. 📈 Trust is especially critical as agentic systems proliferate & go live in production. Your build-vs-buy decisions across the full AI stack (especially auditable workflows with human-in-the-loop immutable provenance) determine whether enterprise AI initiatives stall in pilot or deliver real business value. 🚀 How are you turning Responsible AI into ROI? 👇 Full post framework: bit.ly/4dflx2k _________________ Thanks to the @theaifurnace for the personal VIP invite. #ResponsibleAI #AgenticAI #AIGovernance
