What Comes After the Chatbot? OpenAI's Alexander Embiricos on Dots and AI Agents

OpenAI's Head of Enterprise Product, Alexander Embiricos, lays out the company's vision for AI that doesn't just answer questions but acts on our behalf. In this Disrupt 2026 session, he explores what comes after the chatbot era and what Dots signals about the next phase of AI. As agents gain access to more of our data and digital lives, the conversation turns to a central question: how much control are we willing to hand over? Embiricos examines why privacy and trust could ultimately determine whether personal agents take off, framing adoption as a question of confidence as much as capability. For enterprise leaders and anyone tracking the evolution of AI products, this discussion offers a forward-looking view of agentic AI from one of the people shaping it — and a clear-eyed look at the tradeoffs that come with delegation.
