A CIO with hundreds of bots already running doesn't want to hear "rip and replace." So what do you tell them about AI agents? I put that question to Vikram Kakumani, Deputy CTO at UiPath, at FUSION 2026 on The Ravit Show.

This one got deep into architecture:

- How to take an RPA estate with hundreds of bots into agentic automation

- What "controlled agency" really means, and where humans should stay in the loop

- The biggest blocker keeping AI agents out of production

- Orchestrating agents, robots and people together

- The architecture mistake companies keep making with agents

- How the Map of Work gives agents the enterprise context they're missing

- Where Maestro takes orchestration next

The part that stuck with me was controlled agency. Everyone wants agents that act on their own. Very few teams have decided where a person still needs to sign off. Vikram laid out a practical way to draw that line.

Where would you keep a human in the loop for your agents?
