Jean-Paul Sacy, Wand AI: making AI agents as accountable as humans

Jean-Paul Sacy, Global Head of Partnerships at Wand AI, sits down with Alexander Morari, MRICS, CEO of Shelton Reed, at IPS Congress 2026 in Dubai: why Wand AI holds AI agents as accountable as human employees, why he expects nations to eventually register and tax agents like a workforce, and why the competitive battle has already moved past the large language model.

About this conversation

Jean-Paul Sacy (opens in a new tab), Global Head of Partnerships at Wand AI (opens in a new tab), sits down with Alexander Morari (opens in a new tab), MRICS, CEO of Shelton Reed, at IPS Congress 2026 (opens in a new tab) in Dubai.

Wand AI builds the operating system that lets organizations deploy AI agents inside an existing workforce, putting humans and agents to work side by side rather than treating AI as a standalone tool.

Sacy explains why he wants agents held as accountable and traceable as a human employee, judged on the same return on investment a business expects from its own workforce, and why he expects nations, not only enterprises, to eventually need to register and tax agents the same way.

His closing thesis: the competitive battle has already moved past the large language model itself, and now plays out in how an organization allocates work between hyperscale, sovereign and private clouds.
