Description

What happens when your AI assistant can order food, make restaurant reservations and handle everyday tasks for you? At the WSJ Leadership Institute CEO Summit in London, Miki Kuusi, CEO of Deliveroo and Head of DoorDash International, joins Wendy Bounds, SVP and Head of Content at the WSJ Leadership Institute, to discuss how AI agents are beginning to transform the consumer experience—and where the technology is headed next.

Summary

This video features industry leaders from DoorDash and Deliveroo discussing the integration of autonomous AI agents into consumer services for task-oriented automation. The conversation centers on the shift toward 'agentic' AI that can execute real-world transactions like food ordering and reservations rather than just generating text. While it highlights a significant advancement in frontier AI capability toward autonomy, the focus remains on commercial convenience rather than catastrophic risk mitigation or global safety frameworks. The discussion is primarily relevant to consumer technology and economic disruption rather than existential safety policy.
