When AI Takes Action: Preparing Government for Agentic Systems

Federal agencies have spent the past two years using generative AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and chatbots summarize information and answer questions. Now, agencies are starting to explore agentic AI, systems that go beyond assistance and begin taking actions across systems based on defined rules. As this shift begins, the focus is no longer just what AI can create, but what actions should be allowed to perform.

Join this complimentary webinar to hear from Vassili Patrikis, Chief AI Officer at Microsoft, as he discusses what agentic AI means for agencies and how it differs from traditional chatbots. He will also share lessons from early pilots, including how to manage risk, maintain oversight and determine when humans should be directly involved versus supervising AI-driven actions.
 
During this session, attendees will:
  • Examine how AI agents move from insight to action across Government systems
  • Understand the oversight measures required when software makes decisions, including authority, oversight and rollback
  • Identify where agentic AI delivers the most value
  • Learn what it takes to maintain trust, auditability and mission assurance as AI becomes more autonomous
