I'm Lucia Rahili. And I'm Roberta Fassaro. This idea that you could have a digital coworker isn't a science fiction fantasy, it's something that you can apply. That's McKinsey's senior partner, Lorena Yi. She's talking about the rise of agentic AI and the new reality of working side by side with
AI agents. In just a minute, you'll hear more from her along with fellow McKinsey leaders Roger Roberts and Sven Smidt as we dig into McKinsey's annual tech trends report. Yes, AI is front and center, but there's a lot more in there too. But before we jump in, A quick heads up on what's new at McKinsey.com.
