Enterprises are undergoing a fundamental shift towards intelligent operations. As CDOs move AI into production, deploying autonomous AI agents as the backbone of enterprise architecture, business and operational models are being disrupted and the ways of work are changing. Yet amidst the fast technological evolution, governance remains a work in progress and skill gaps persist. And with compute getting a quantum boost, CDOs must remain vigilant in their efforts in renewing IT infrastructures and containing risks. In this session, a leading consultant will provide his/her 2027 predictions to help CDOs and CIOs get their organizations future ready.

The notion of sovereignty has expanded from data and storage to encompassing the full digital ecosystem. From your core program to infrastructure, the mandate is to accelerate adaptability, dynamism, security, governance and control. And with major hyperscaler data center investments and national initiatives such as the National AI Strategy and Action Plan, LANTA supercomputing infrastructure, and OpenThaiGPT / ThaiLLM localized foundation models, Thai CDOs have an unique opportunity. Explore how to combine global cloud scale with localized data residency, sovereign AI platforms, and national computing assets to build secure, resilient, and AI-ready enterprise.

While quantum computing is emerging, its security implications are imminent. With threat actors harvesting encrypted data today for decryption later, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has become a crucial priority for the vigilant tech leaders who are obliged to protect sensitive data in key Thai industries. This panel will explore:

• Differentiating the reality of quantum from hypes and myths
• Establishing post-quantum readiness: Mapping the needs of post-quantum cryptography (PQC)
• Compiling with the NCSA quantum-ready roadmap: Integrating and adopting NIST-approved algorithms
• Ensuring PQC readiness across hybrid cloud, SaaS, AI platforms, and third-party ecosystems
• Justifying PQC budget for the here and now

AI agents are increasingly becoming the backbone of enterprise operations. While organizations are busy integrating human expertise with AI reasoning, the ability to scale and govern AI agents is essential to creating real, differentiated value. This session will illustrate how you could build task-focused agents and orchestrate multi-agent systems, with or without codes, all the while maintaining full visibility and governance.

AI agents are the here and now. Autonomous agents can proactively solve problems, get work done, and drive exponential productivity in every corner of your organisation. And with all-encompassing AI platforms that act as control towers, you can unify data, security, governance, and measurements in one location. Find out how you can orchestrate AI agents with platforms to deliver tangible ROI.

AI adoption is a priority for Thai enterprises. Yet most struggle to generate, track, and measure returns on AI despite pressure to show immediate impact on profitability. With uncertainties in costs, deployment, and risks, the business cases for AI investments require extra efforts to realise. The CFOs and CDOs on this panel will explore:

• Mitigating financial uncertainties and risks surrounding AI initiatives
• Ensuring AI investments yield the expected financial results as envisioned in their business cases
• Rethinking the metrics and methods to measure AI ROI effectively
• Solidifying long-term profitability through AI projects
• Establishing real-time costs control to manage token consumption

AI growth is outpacing governance. And as executives accountable for ethical and responsible AI use, CDOs and CIOs must bridge the governance gap not only in anticipation of the upcoming ETDA Draft AI Act, but also in response to the regulatory scrutiny already shaping AI deployment across Thailand’s various sectors. This panel will explore:

• Balancing innovation with compliance
• Building cross-agency compliance operating models to satisfy ETDA, PDPC, BOT, and OIC guidelines and policies
• Ensuring data, AI, and digital sovereignty
• Establishing AI ownership and accountability between business units, tech teams, and other stakeholders
• Governing third-party and agentic AI through contracts, security and safeguards

We are entering into the agent orchestration era where the human-machine partnership is transforming how we work, create value and organize. Powered by teams of AI agents, organizational structure and capabilities are being recrafted, talent reframed, processes rewritten, and roles redefined. What is non-negotiable is the infusion of AI as an autonomous workforce that collaborate, decide, and act, with or without humans. This panel will discuss:

• The state of Agentic AI and multi-agent readiness in Thailand: Deployment, governance, and maturity.
• The future enterprise structure: What organizational structures will we see in multi-agent AI-augmented companies?
• AI entrenchment in the workforce: Making sense of roles in workflows amidst ambiguities and exploration.
• Human oversight: Keeping pace, refining processes, and closing skill gaps.
• AI-led transactions: Can we trust AI to act independently without direct human involvement?
