Artificial intelligence is no longer a matter of experiments or pilot projects — it is directly reshaping organizations’ structures, team workflows, and leaders’ decision-making processes. In this panel, we will explore how deeply AI is truly penetrating institutions, how AI agents are changing new working models, and what this transformation means for people and organizations, together with two experts who are actively working on the ground.

İdil Ünverdi (Arya-AI UK) and Zafer Çalış (iKnow Technology) will share their experiences across a broad spectrum: from corporate AI maturity and AI agents to organizational transformation and the human factor, from common mistakes in AI projects to risks and opportunities extending from the startup world to 2030. The panel will be moderated by Yağmur Şimşek (Search ‘n Stuff) and will conclude with actionable insights that participants can start applying tomorrow morning.
