• Take on Tomorrow @ the World Economic Forum in Davos: What does responsible AI look like in the age of agentic AI?

  AI is being embedded in everything we do, from the way our cities operate to how we live and work. Information, decision-making, and problem-solving are all being transformed. Enter the “AI agent,” here to help people work smarter and more productively. But will people trust this rapidly evolving technology? And what happens if that trust erodes? Business and society are working to navigate the myriad challenges AI presents—and to answer a big question: how can we work to build responsible AI in the age of agentic AI? In this episode, recorded live at the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos, PwC’s Sarah von Fisher is joined by PwC’s Matt Wood, Global and US Commercial Technology & Innovation Officer. They discuss what the age of agentic AI looks like and what leaders can do to make sure the technology is deployed ethically, and with accountability and transparency—as AI becomes more engrained in our everyday lives.

• How can we reimagine workplace productivity with GenAI?

  More than two years have passed since generative AI went mainstream. Now the pressure is on for the technology to deliver concrete results. So has it lived up to all the hype? And, in particular, has GenAI met its early promise to boost workplace productivity and help employees engage in more high-impact work? Hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Svenja Gudell, Chief Economist at the jobs site Indeed, about the state of the labor market in this new GenAI world and the workforce shifts that are already underway. PwC’s Global Workforce Leader, Pete Brown, brings fresh insights from a new report issued by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with PwC, that looks at how businesses can roll out GenAI for job augmentation and to help worker productivity. In an economic environment currently characterized by low productivity growth, are we seeing signs that GenAI can make a difference?

  Business leaders are asked to perform the ultimate balancing act. They face pressure to manage their company’s environmental footprint, adjust to the impacts of climate change, and build rewarding experiences for employees and customers, all while continuing to deliver financial performance. So, how do they accomplish that? And what can the business world learn from companies that are already testing new ways to respond to these pressures? In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Charles Conn—venture capital investor, author, and longtime Board Chair of outdoor gear and clothing company Patagonia. They discuss how Patagonia squares its ethical commitments with the need to make money in a highly competitive market, and lessons the company’s learned that can apply to other businesses. They also talk to Colm Kelly, Global Leader, Corporate Sustainability, for the PwC network, about what he hears in boardrooms and how the real-world impacts of the climate transition are prompting change.
