The rise of multi-agent AI systems is redefining how organizations tackle complexity. These systems bring together multiple specialized agents to collaboratively solve problems with greater adaptability, agility and precision. However, this depth often comes at the expense of speed. The good news? That perceived slowness can be effectively mitigated through intentional, user-centric design. In a new blog for the World Economic Forum, Babak Hodjat and Benjamin Wiener explore the critical role user experience plays in unlocking the full potential of multi-agent AI. To deliver real value, users must be able to interact fluidly, whether through text, speech, documents or graphical interfaces. Read the full blog: https://cgnz.at/6049sjIXR

As AI moves from labs to enterprise, it needs more than just data to thrive. It needs a real understanding of how businesses work. That's where context engineers come in. They are the experts who ensure AI understands the workflows, data and decisions that make each business unique, enabling smarter, faster and more aligned outcomes. Today, we're announcing a strategic initiative to deploy 1,000 context engineers over the next year—a key step in scaling agentic AI that actually works in the real world. We'll be partnering with Workfabric AI, whose ContextFabric™ platform will serve as the grounding layer that keeps AI in sync with the people, systems and decisions that power the enterprise. This initiative marks the next step forward in making AI truly enterprise-ready—grounded in real context, not just data. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gd2i2fpj

For decades, business strategy has been shaped by zero-sum thinking: if one company wins, another must lose. But in an AI-powered world, that mindset no longer serves us. In a new op-ed with TIME, Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S, along with Andreea Roberts and Simone Crymes (Rodriguez), argue that AI doesn’t just optimize efficiency. It creates the potential for abundance.
