Lagos, Nigeria – Rodger Werkhoven, Independent Creative Director at OpenAI, will explore the transformative potential of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) at the InnovateAI Conference Lagos 2025, taking place today at the Landmark Centre in Lagos. This annual event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to discuss the latest advancements in AI technology.
Insights from Werkhoven
During a press conference held on Thursday in Ikoyi, Lagos, organized by AI in Nigeria, Werkhoven provided insights into the world of agentic AI. He highlighted that the evolution from traditional helper AI to agentic AI signifies a monumental shift in how individuals interact with technology, particularly in enhancing personal and business productivity.
Understanding Agentic AI
Werkhoven elaborated on the workings of agentic AI, explaining that earlier AI systems primarily functioned as assistants, performing tasks such as content creation or image generation. However, recent advancements have enabled these systems to operate applications and interfaces autonomously. This evolution allows users to delegate complex tasks—such as planning a business trip—entirely to AI systems.
"Agentic AI can now take over the entire process of organizing a trip," Werkhoven stated. "Users simply need to specify their destination and requirements, and the AI will handle everything from booking flights to securing hotel accommodations." This capability represents a significant leap forward in making technology more user-friendly and efficient.
Personalization and User Experience
One of the standout features of agentic AI is its ability to learn and adapt to individual user preferences. For instance, if a user follows a vegan diet, the AI will take this into account when making travel arrangements, ensuring that all options align with their dietary restrictions. Werkhoven emphasized that this level of personalization is expected to enhance user satisfaction and streamline decision-making processes.
A Lineup of Experts
Werkhoven will be joining an impressive lineup of speakers at the InnovateAI Conference, where discussions will focus on the future of AI technologies and their applications across various sectors. The conference aims to foster collaboration and innovation, providing a platform for thought leaders to share their insights and explore the potential of AI to transform industries.
As the conference unfolds, participants can look forward to engaging discussions that will shape the future of agentic AI and its role in everyday life.
