Title:
From Seeing to Understanding: Rethinking AI for the Next Breakthrough in Road Safety.
Abstract:
For more than a decade, intelligent traffic systems have been built around perception. We taught machines to see: to detect vehicles, track pedestrians, count cyclists, and classify road users. And we succeeded. Today’s models can recognise what is present in a scene with remarkable speed and accuracy.

Title:
Governing Agentic AI: From Human-in-the-Loop to Human-in-Command
Abstract:
Agentic AI is changing the governance challenge. Unlike traditional AI systems that mainly recommend, classify or generate content, agentic AI can plan, make decisions, use tools, trigger workflows and act with increasing autonomy. This creates new opportunities for productivity and innovation, but it also introduces new risks around accountability, oversight, control, security, compliance and trust.

Title:
The Quiet Handover: Engineering Trust When AI Stops Suggesting and Starts Deciding
Abstract:
The traditional view of AI risk management frameworks entailed a framework whereby ultimately it was the decision of humans while the machine simply advised humans in making their decisions. This arrangement is fast changing. Now, as the systems start acting on our behalf, executing processes for us and making decisions for us, the trust arrangements between man, institution, and machine have changed, though quietly, without adequate change to the corresponding governance. The responsible AI is no longer just a compliance tool but an element of critical infrastructure. Institutions that will thrive over the next ten years are those who saw trust as engineering rather than branding. This is not an AI race but a trust race.
