Would you let an AI agent spend your money? Most of us already let AI do the legwork when we shop: finding running shoes, comparing phones, planning a vacation. But the moment it’s time to pay, we still click through the links ourselves.  That is starting to change as agents take on more of the process, and the question now is whether we trust them enough to let them. Joining us on stage for the fourth episode in the series is Nader Soliman, vice president and head of products and solutions for North Africa, Levant, and Pakistan (NALP) at Visa; Nils Bachtler, chief executive officer of Klivvr; and Youssef Rizk, chief executive officer of Windfall, and co-founder and CTO of Wondercraft.  Soliman explains why payment is the easy part, that the real challenge is intent. Bachtler shares how Klivvr’s customer-facing agent answered more than 40,000 inquiries in a single month, and why he expects agents to soon be running campaigns without approval. And Rizk breaks AI down into intelligence, sensors, and actuators, and he explains why, once execution becomes almost instant, our jobs will shift to planning and orchestrating. All three are in conversation with Joseph Marks, EnterpriseAM’s AI + Innovation editor.

By the end of 2027, will AI leave your company with more people, or fewer? In the third episode of this series, our GCC markets advisor Nick Edwards poses that question to Todd Wilcox, chief executive officer and deputy chairman, HSBC Egypt; Omar Khashaba, managing partner, Algebra Ventures; and Khalil El Bawab, chief executive officer, local and regional markets, Beltone Holding.  Their answers might not be what you expect. But before answering, they look at how AI is already changing their teams.  Wilcox shares what happened when HSBC pointed to an in-house AI model at five years of call center data. Khashaba argues that AI should capture the “why” behind an organization’s decisions, not just the “what.” And El Bawab says they’re “treating it as a new hire that we need to train.” The takeaway? AI won’t take decisions off anyone’s plate. If anything, it makes good judgment matter more.

After 17 years of choosing his own shareholders, Mounir Nakhla is taking MNT-Halan public. Why now, and why take the risk? In the second episode of the season, the founder and chief executive officer of MNT-Halan, sits down with our editor-in-chief Patrick. When he joined us on stage, the company had just filed to list on the EGX, and the documents were waiting on their final stamp.  They get into where the IPO money is going, why international investors are coming back to Egyptian equities, and why Nakhla says there's no bubble in consumer finance. Then there's Apollo, the AI app that tells him who to call each day and what to ask them. But the more Nakhla trusts it, the more it worries him.  The big shift? Investors have stopped asking about Egypt's macro, and started asking about the companies.
