Rethinking the AI Stack: Data, Agentic AI, and Organizational Design – Wharton Global Forum

At the 2025 Wharton Global Forum in San Francisco, host Kartik Hosanagar moderates a powerhouse panel on the future of AI. Leaders from Microsoft, T. Rowe Price, GrowthCurve Capital, NewFront, and HSG (formerly Sequoia China) share their perspectives on where AI is headed, what it means for business, and how organizations can prepare. From bold claims about AGI arriving in just a few years, to the “Gen AI paradox” (adoption without clear ROI), to how products and teams must be reimagined in an AI-first world, this wide-ranging discussion dives into the questions every business leader is asking: Is AGI hype or reality? Why aren’t we seeing productivity gains yet? What does it mean to build thin products, thick models? How should startups and incumbents partner in the AI era? What happens when humans, agents, and organizations collide?
