## Description

Enterprises are rushing to build "Agentic AI," but they are falling into a dangerous trap: treating human transformation, platform engineering, and data sovereignty as isolated silos. Join Sebastian Kister to discover how to avoid the "Automation Paradox," architect a zero-hallucination predictability engine, and secure your data against the hidden sovereignty threats of modern AI plumbing.
