Ram Venkatesh, Sema4.aiCTO and Co-Founder

Enterprises are pouring billions into AI, yet most deployments fail to scale beyond pilot projects. Traditional automation tools like RPA and co-pilots fall short when it comes to complex, knowledge-driven tasks—leading to stalled adoption, wasted investment, and missed opportunities for true business transformation. Without a smarter approach, AI initiatives will remain stuck in experimentation mode.

In this session, Ram Venkatesh, CTO and co-founder of Sema4.ai, will reveal how AI agents can bridge the gap between business expertise and cutting-edge technology to unlock real, sustainable enterprise value across industries. Unlike traditional automation, AI agents are adaptable, intelligent, and capable of delivering measurable ROI within weeks without disrupting existing systems. By autonomously managing critical end-to-end workflows such as invoice reconciliation, regulatory compliance, and supply chain optimization, these agents accelerate productivity, reduce time to market, and empower organizations to operate with agility and efficiency.

Drawing on decades of experience in enterprise software, distributed systems, and data management, Ram will cover:

• What is the enterprise opportunity for AI - separating out the myth from reality

• Always be shipping - how to get AI implementations all the way to production

• Real-world use cases from Fortune 1000 companies like Koch and Emerson showcasing AI-driven cost savings, operational efficiency, and faster decision-making.

• Why AI agent architecture must center around business owners while also enabling developers—and how this balance drives successful adoption and scale

For business and AI leaders struggling to move beyond proof-of-concept, this session delivers an urgent, actionable roadmap for getting AI agents into production—driving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring AI delivers on its full potential.
