Fireside Chat — Hybrid Architecture & the Agentic Era | Autonomous 26

Rohit Choudhary (CEO & Founder, Acceldata) & Peter Hung (Head of Data and AI, T-Mobile) Rohit Choudhary and Peter Hung, Head of Data and AI at T-Mobile, explored what hybrid architecture truly means for large enterprises navigating the agentic era. Peter drew on 25 years in enterprise data to argue that consolidating everything into one platform has never worked and never will. The answer is connected intelligence — marrying data where it lives rather than moving it. Key takeaways: agent observability must come before agent deployment, not after. Agents need the same governance and accountability as humans. And as rote work disappears, the most critical emerging role in any organization is assurance — making sure agents are actually doing the right thing.
