Manatt Digital Law and Technology Policy Forum Webinar Series Episode 13: Agentic AI

In today’s fast‑evolving digital landscape, professionals across technology and law must stay ahead of rapidly shifting policies and global regulatory trends. From artificial intelligence (AI) to data protection, the pace of change demands ongoing adaptation to stay competitive.

Join host , Partner in Manatt’s Digital and Technology Group and , Co-Leader of Manatt’s AI Practice and Partner in the Privacy and Data Security Group, for Episode 13 of the Digital Law and Technology Policy Forum Webinar Series. This session explores the growing role of agentic artificial intelligence—AI systems designed to operate autonomously by planning, making decisions, and taking actions to achieve defined objectives—distinct from more familiar chatbot-style AI that primarily responds to user prompts.

Episode 13: Agentic AI – Who Will Pay the Piper?

The webinar will examine the legal landscape surrounding what is often described as a risk‑multiplier form of AI due to its autonomy, goal‑directed behavior and action‑taking capabilities. Tod and Paul will guide attendees through the fragmented and contentious U.S. federal legal environment, the veritable smorgasbord of state laws attempting to regulate AI agents and international legal approaches, from the most developed and comprehensive EU AI Act, to the United Kingdom’s multi‑pronged approach, and the emergence of a leading 2026 model AI governance framework for agentic AI introduced in Singapore.
