How AI Agents Are Rewriting the Rules of Leadership and Culture Across an Organization

AI agents are no longer tools that sit on a desktop waiting for instructions. They are autonomous workers — and suddenly, every employee in the organization is directing them. This is not a technology shift. It is a leadership shift. The question is no longer whether AI will change your organization, but whether your culture will survive the change.

In this keynote, Thomas Anglero draws on his own experience building an AI-first venture with AI agents as his engineering team, founding the IBM Watson AI Lab for Cancer, and leading AI strategy across the Nordic region for Cognizant. He shows leaders what actually happens when authority redistributes across an organization — and what has to change in the culture before it breaks.

Audiences leave with:

• A clear understanding of how AI agents redistribute authority and decision-making across every level of the organization
• A framework for recognizing the cultural fault lines that appear before they become visible in performance metrics
• Practical approaches for redesigning leadership habits when every team member directs autonomous workers
• The confidence to lead this transition from lived experience, not theory
