Official Description
Agent-executed work is a new infrastructure primitive. Until you treat it that way, you're running a
demo, not enterprise AI. Your existing stack was built for deterministic software. Agents reason,
delegate, and make judgment calls. That distinction creates infrastructure problems most engineering
teams haven't confronted: security vulnerabilities baked in by design, no audit trail, no
explainability, no human-in-the-loop. At Anterior, we've deployed clinical AI agents across many of
the largest US health plans, covering 50 million lives. Healthcare, with high stakes, strict
regulation, deeply human workflows, exposes infrastructure gaps that exist everywhere - and makes
the paradigm shift unavoidable: agent-executed work as a first-class primitive, alongside compute,
storage, and APIs. We'll cover why bolting agents onto existing data pipelines fails, what
infrastructure primitives are missing (and why teams don't notice until an audit), and how to
architect a stack where security, compliance, and human oversight are load-bearing from day one. If
you're serious about agents in any mission-critical context, this is the infrastructure conversation
you need to have.
