AI Evenings NYC:Turning Generative & Agentic AI into an Enterprise Capability
Generative AI tools promise a step-change in productivity, but realizing their full return on investment requires more than deployment. This session explores what it really takes to move GenAI from pilot programs to a foundational, enterprise-wide advantage.
Led by Janina Peterek, Global Executive Sponsor Program Lead at Google, this talk shares real-world lessons from scaling generative AI inside large organizations. Learn how leadership alignment, governance, and operational readiness enable organizations to unlock value, and transition from simple AI features to agentic workflows that manage end-to-end business processes.
