About this Session

AI agents can already write code, design interfaces, analyse data and make decisions. But can they — or should they — feel human? And if they do, what does that mean for the products we build, the teams we lead, and the users we design for?

This closing panel brings together practitioners and thinkers from across the product and engineering world to debate one of the most consequential questions of our time: as agents become more capable, more autonomous and more present in people's lives, where does the human begin and the machine end — and who is responsible for drawing that line?

No consensus guaranteed. No easy answers provided. Just the honest, uncomfortable conversation the industry needs to have.

Reasons to attend:

  • Hear unfiltered perspectives from people actually building with and around agents today
  • Challenge your own assumptions about autonomy, trust and accountability in AI systems
  • Leave with sharper thinking on how humanisation of agents affects your own product decisions
  • The perfect close to Day 1 — provocative enough to fuel the after-party conversations
