Agentic AI: Fears & Hopes | Keynote, Panel & Networking

A women-only evening on how AI is moving from answering prompts to acting on its own, with a keynote, expert panel, dinner and networking A women-only evening hosted by PrimeTime, Singapore’s business and professional women’s association. Curious (or a little nervous) about where AI is heading? Join other professional women for an evening of big ideas, honest debate and good company. AI is changing fast. It’s no longer just tools that write text when you prompt them. It’s “agents” that can plan, decide and act on their own. For organisations, that’s a turning point: how do you keep control of automation at scale without slowing everything down? Agentic AI: Fears & Hopes brings together a technologist, an AI founder and a board-level governance advisor to unpack exactly that. Expect a sharp keynote, a lively panel discussion, and plenty of time to ask your own questions. You don’t need to be technical to get a lot out of this evening. Whether you lead a team, run a business, work in risk or compliance, or just want to understand what’s coming, you’ll leave with a clearer view of the opportunities and the risks. You’ll also meet a room full of women from corporate, startup and entrepreneurial backgrounds.
