Agentic AI & The Digital Workforce - Joe DosSantos, Vice President, Workday

👥 Agents Are People Too: Rethinking the Future of Work in the Age of AI | Joe DosSantos, Workday | Autonomous25

Is an AI agent just another teammate? With role clarity, responsibilities, policies, and even goals?

In this provocative, insightful, and at times hilarious talk, Joe DosSantos, VP of Enterprise Information Management at Workday, breaks down how the future of work isn’t about copilots—it’s about colleagues you can’t see but who never sleep. These digital agents are quickly becoming integral parts of enterprise workflows, but scaling them responsibly requires a shift in how we think about governance, semantics, and orchestration.

🔍 In this talk, Joe dives into:

- Why agents aren’t assistants—they’re employees with policies and KPIs
- How Workday is building BI agents that go from query to insight to recommendation
- The pitfalls of agent proliferation (“Let’s not go from 950 dashboards to 950 agents!”)
- Why the real future of data governance is semantic orchestration
- How enterprise orchestration today mirrors SOA and microservice architectures
- The need for certified agents, governance-aware prompts, and portable orchestration layers

💡 Joe argues that we’re past the "build-a-bot" excitement phase—what comes next is agent lifecycle management, role-based permissions, integration with semantic layers, and human-level accountability.

🧠 “The problem isn’t building an agent—it’s scaling them without chaos.”

🔥 If you're building AI-native products or thinking about deploying agents in enterprise environments, this talk is a must-watch. It’s thoughtful, funny, and full of hard-won insight from one of the data industry’s most respected voices.
