Closing Debate
The Dependency on AI Agents: Are We Losing Critical Thinking Skills?

This engaging session show how leaders-as-panellists in today's volatile world must compete, challenge and pitch ideas on how AI agents can make us think sharper and perform better — without weakening critical thinking.

Part 1 features each panellist’s best 4 minute perspective on how AI agents improve industry use cases, productivity, decision quality and user experience. Each panellist will then face a direct peer challenge. While you as the audience real-time scores for the clearest insight, strongest response, and most compelling thought leadership.

Part 2 pivots to 3 minute investment pitches, where each panellist proposes ideas that use AI agents to strengthen, not weaken, critical thinking. See how leaders fiercely compete not to prove who is right, but which idea is best as fellow panellists allocate simulated funding that enable smarter decisions and stronger human-AI collaboration.

Moderated by Deacon D.K. Wan, this closing session brings Gartner’s world authority on AI, business and technology insights, and practical Do’s and Don’ts to the executive stage.
