As AI and agentic systems become more autonomous, enterprise leaders face a fundamental question: who decides what these systems are allowed to do?

In this episode, Nick Kabanov and co-host Mark Darbyshire sit down with Mihai Faur, CIO at UiPath, to explore how leadership, trust, and accountability shape real-world automation decisions.

Rather than focusing on hype or tools, the conversation goes deep into:

  • How leaders assess risk and reversibility in AI-driven decisions
  • Why human-in-the-loop design is still essential in the enterprise
  • The trade-offs between speed, control, and accountability
  • Why leadership must be willing to publicly defend the decisions automation makes
  • How automation becomes a long-term strategic capability, not a short-term efficiency play

This episode sets the foundation for the series, framing automation and agentic AI as leadership challenges first — and technology challenges second.
