Chinese startups like Manus are moving fast to develop and deploy AI agents that can execute real-world tasks—rebooking flights, managing online services, and automating workflows with minimal human input. In the United States, while the technology is available, deployment has been more cautious. Yet the transition from a world where AI enhances decision-making to one where AI actively completes tasks is already underway and could reshape global competition.
Join the Center for Data Innovation for a panel discussion on what the rise of agentic AI means for innovation, competition, and policy, how prepared the United States is to keep pace, and what policy shifts might be needed to ensure consumers and businesses can successfully develop and deploy AI agents.
