Agentic AI has the power to transform how organizations work, but only if it can be trusted at scale. In this keynote segment from SAS Innovate 2026, SAS CTO Bryan Harris explains what agentic AI really is, why it matters for the enterprise, and how organizations can use it to automate complex workflows without increasing risk. As AI systems move from supporting individuals to running end to end business processes, trust must shift from people to the process itself. This video explores: • The difference between deterministic and non deterministic AI. • Why compound error becomes a serious risk at enterprise scale. • How verification and validation guardrails prevent AI errors from multiplying. • A proven blueprint to design, execute, verify and validate agentic AI workflows. You’ll see how trusted agentic AI improves productivity by automating decisions, boosts performance through repeatable outcomes and builds confidence with enterprise grade governance.
