Navigating the Agentic Era: AI Observability as Your Control Plane

Singapore is a global leader in digital infrastructure, with AI-powered government services, real-time data platforms and automated financial systems running at scale. But as these systems grow more advanced, they also become more complex.

Today, services like payment platforms, citizen portals or healthcare systems are no longer simple applications. They rely on hundreds of automated interactions across cloud infrastructure, microservices and third-party APIs. The predictable workflows of the past are gone, and even a small issue can disrupt entire services and affect public trust within minutes.

The Challenge of “POC to Production” in 2026

For many organisations, the biggest challenge of 2026 is no longer starting AI initiatives; it is finishing them. Proofs of concept are everywhere. Pilots look promising. But moving from POC to reliable large-scale production remains difficult.

Agentic AI adds another layer of complexity. Unlike fixed-rule systems, agentic systems make decisions dynamically, interact across services and adapt in real time. This makes their behaviour harder to predict, trace and explain. In a POC, this complexity is often hidden. In production, where trust and compliance matter, small blind spots can quickly become major risks.

At the same time, operations teams are overwhelmed with data. Logs, metrics and alerts keep growing, yet during incidents the same questions remain: What is happening? What does it mean? And what should we do next?

Without visibility, automation creates blind spots. When AI decisions cannot be explained, governance breaks down. In high-impact, regulated environments, success in 2026 will be defined not by running more POCs but by turning complex agentic AI into stable, transparent, production-grade systems.

AI Observability as the Central Control Plane

Operating at scale requires control without stifling innovation. Moving toward AI-driven operations is not about rushing to full autonomy; it is about building a foundation where systems are visible and explainable.

AI Observability acts as the nervous system of the modern digital enterprise. Before agentic systems can safely act, the environment must be fully visible through standardised instrumentation, proactive AI-driven detection and governed autonomy aligned with risk and compliance requirements.

This foundation allows organisations to move beyond endless pilots and confidently operationalise AI across mission-critical services.

Resilience as a Strategic Edge

When observability sits at the core of operations, complexity becomes an advantage. Organisations can detect issues early, resolve them faster and continuously improve performance.

AI handles routine tasks while teams focus on governance, optimisation and citizen experience. Stability, transparency and explainability become pillars of trust.

Delegates will have the opportunity to:
