AI agents are seen as a next step in the development of intelligent work systems. They can support employees in complex tasks and, in doing so, reshape collaboration between humans and AI. This raises key questions for organizations and leaders: How can the use of AI agents be designed responsibly? How should relevant use cases emerge? Through specialized central units or from employees’ own work practices? And which skills do employees and leaders need in order to develop AI agents in a meaningful way and work with them reflectively?

The interactive roundtable discussion is deliberately designed as an open format and thrives on shared exchange. As a starting point, we will bring selected use cases on AI agents in workplace contexts, which will serve as prompts for discussing opportunities, challenges, and possible approaches to their design and implementation.

The discussion will focus in particular on the following guiding questions:

Participants are explicitly invited to contribute their own experiences, perspectives, and questions. The aim of the session is to develop a well-grounded understanding of how AI agents can be used effectively and responsibly in organizations.
