You can with AI.

In this Trendline episode, NLW is joined by KPMG's Swami Chandrasekaran and Rafiq Jalal to unpack why enterprise AI is moving from chat and research assistance into the agentic era. They discuss harnesses, work reinvention, safe experimentation, token budgeting, and what organizations should do now as AI becomes capable of running longer, more complex knowledge work.

In this episode of You can with AI, NLW is joined by Rahsaan Shears, Principal Advisory and aIQ Program Lead at KPMG LLP, and May Habib, CEO and co-founder of WRITER, for a candid conversation about why enterprise AI adoption has not stalled so much as become overloaded. They discuss the gap between what AI can do and what organizations are actually able to change, why AI theater is giving way to harder questions about strategy and execution, how agents are forcing companies to rethink process from the ground up, and what separates AI leaders from laggards in the second half of 2026.

AI agents are moving from experimental tools to digital teammates that can take action, make decisions, and collaborate with people. In this episode of You can with AI, NLW is joined by Edwige Sacco, Head of Workforce Innovation at KPMG LLP, and Surojit Chatterjee, Founder and CEO of Ema, for a conversation about what changes when organizations stop treating AI as software and start treating it as part of the team. They explore trust, cognitive exhaustion, workforce redesign, the risks of overestimating and underestimating agents, and why leaders need to get hands-on now rather than manage AI transformation from a distance.

In this Trendline episode, NLW and KPMG's Steve Chase dig into the resource constraints that are defining the agentic era - from compute competition between training and inference to the reality that agent usage is growing faster than costs are falling. They explore what separates leading organizations from the rest, including systems thinking around model selection, token management, and building resilience into agentic deployments before it's too late.
