Round-table discussion: From Copilot to Colleague - How AI Agents are changing the way we work
We are moving from using AI as a helper to working side by side with AI agents as true colleagues.

What does it mean when AI becomes an equal partner, not just a tool? Johan Sanneblad, CEO of TokenTek, shares practical insights from the cutting edge and explains why working with AI as a colleague will soon be the new normal - in development, research, and everyday work.
