Beyond the Prompt: What Happens When AI Starts Doing the Work (October 8, 2026)
About This Webinar
AI used to wait for a prompt. You asked a question and it gave you an answer.
Now, AI can do much more. It can interact with business systems, update information, send messages, and carry out tasks on a user’s behalf.
That changes the conversation.
Leaders now have to think about what AI should be allowed to do, how much access it should have, and where people still need to stay involved.
In this session, Rob Schenk, Sean Harris, and Earl Fischl talk through what that shift means for businesses.
They cover the risks that come with giving AI more access and explain why visibility and control matter just as much as productivity.
This is a practical conversation for leaders who want to use AI without handing over more control than they intended.
What You’ll Learn
AI can save time and take work off your team’s plate. But the more it can do, the more important it becomes to understand where the boundaries are. In this session, you’ll learn:
- How AI is moving from responding to prompts to taking action
- What can happen when AI has too much access
- Why human approval still matters for higher-risk actions
- How businesses can keep better visibility into AI use
- What leaders should consider before expanding AI across the organization
You’ll leave with a clearer idea of where AI can help, where caution is needed, and what questions your business should be asking next.
