Last week at Dreamforce 2026, the conversation buzzing among executives, customers, and trailblazers centered around the next era of AI. An era where the creative, probabilistic reasoning of AI works with the deterministic rules of business. "When you press the power button on your TV, it's always going to come on, right? Versus if you tell your child, 'hey, will you turn off the TV?' Maybe they do, maybe they don't," said Michael Andrew, Chief Data Officer at Salesforce. "Agents are the same way. You want to teach them, you want to monitor them. And then, as they prove more and more capable, you get them more controls." When these systems unite across data, applications, agents, and interfaces, AI can unlock trapped value across the entire enterprise, at a scale humans alone could never match. See what industry leaders on the ground had to say about the future of AI in the enterprise:
