Dîner Pensant – Autopilot ON/OFF 

This edition focuses on one of the most critical leadership questions of the coming decade:

Should organizations place parts of their operations on AI autopilot — and where should leaders draw the line when delegating authority, agency, and autonomy to algorithms?

The dinner will explore the strategic, ethical, and governance implications of increasingly autonomous AI systems, based on the latest research from SogetiLabs.

The session is held under Chatham House Rule, ensuring an open and candid discussion.

Detailed Event Description

Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from assistive tools to systems capable of taking autonomous decisions, optimizing processes, and acting on a scale. As organizations move from experimentation to operational deployment of AI autopilots, executives face crucial choices:

• When does automation become abdication?
• How should leaders balance speed, efficiency, and human oversight?
• What does “human in the loop” truly mean in an era of self‑learning systems?
• Where should organizations deliberately avoid switching on the autopilot?

During this Dîner Pensant, we will present key insights from SogetiLabs’ upcoming research on AI Autopilots, examining how leading organizations are designing, governing, and integrating autonomous AI capabilities and the leadership dilemmas that follow.

The evening combines short presentations, research framing, and ample time for open exchange among peers navigating similar strategic challenges.

Participation is by invitation only and limited to ensure high‑quality dialogue.
