Summary: In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the terms "copilots" and "autonomous agents" are often used interchangeably, yet they represent fundamentally different concepts. This session aims to demystify these terms and explore their unique roles and applications.

Join us as we delve into the core differences between copilots, which assist and augment human capabilities, and autonomous agents, which operate independently to perform tasks.

Through real-world examples and expert insights, attendees will gain a clear understanding of how these technologies can be leveraged to enhance productivity and innovation in various industries. Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a tech professional, or a business leader, this session will provide valuable perspectives on the future of human-machine collaboration.
