Artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots and experiments. The next phase is increasingly about AI agents capable of handling entire workflows, forcing businesses to rethink not just which technology they use, but how their organisations actually operate.

In this special Fear & Greed Q+A panel, recorded at the launch of NTT DATA’s Innovation Centre Australia in Sydney, Sean Aylmer speaks with Vannessa Van Beek, CISO at Fortescue; Natalie Piucco, Google Field CTO for Applied AI; and David McKeering, Executive Managing Director at NTT DATA ANZ. 

They discuss how Fortescue is already using AI across its mining operations, why businesses need to stop “Frankensteining” AI onto old processes, and how organisations can balance innovation with governance, security and trust.
