Panel Discussion: Panel Discussion: Engineering the Systems of Tomorrow: From Copilots to Agentic Workflows—Productivity, Verification, and the Skills Shift
As copilotbased assistance and emerging agentic AI capabilities become embedded in engineering workflows, organizations are navigating how to realize productivity gains without sacrificing rigor, verification, or accountability. In this panel, hear industry leaders discuss how keeping copilots and agents 'in the loop' is reshaping the way engineering work gets done—what is working today, where risks and limitations remain, and how teams are validating AIassisted outputs in realworld systems. They will explore how verification, governance, and human oversight anchor trust as workflows evolve, and how engineering roles and skills are shifting from direct execution toward orchestration, validation, and systemlevel decisionmaking. Panelists will also share pragmatic goals and lessons learned as organizations transition from copilotled assistance toward more agentic workflows over the coming year.
