\"2026 is the first year of AI agents... Four priorities needed to move beyond testing to deployment\"

Rahul Pathak of Amazon Web Services said 2026 is the year of AI agents and that data is the biggest differentiator. He set out four priorities drawn from more than 1,000 conversations with customers and partners: clear goals, data, guardrails and execution speed. He cited partners building agentic AI platforms on Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, reporting productivity gains of 50 to 85 percent and 4 times ROI. AWS and AWS Korea also outlined their agentic AI stack and 2026 partner strategy.
