AI Agent Builders NYC ft. WiDS: Building Responsible AI Agents with GenAI at Scale
Join us for the very first AI Agent Builders meetup as we launch this exciting new community, and be among the founding members!
About AI Agent Builders
AI Agent Builders is a global meetup series for anyone creating or curious about AI agents in the enterprise. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, IT pro, or business stakeholder, you’re welcome. Bring a question, a prototype, or something you’re stuck on.
Whether you're just starting your agentic journey or you're a seasoned builder, join us to share real-world learnings, discover best practices, and learn from each other's successes (and failures). We'll dive into the basics of agent development, explore new tools and protocols emerging in the space, discuss ethical considerations of building responsible AI agents, and discuss how to integrate different technologies in the broader AI ecosystem, and get hands-on with how to design, deploy, and manage AI agents.
Our mission is simple: inspire innovation, upskill our community, and forge meaningful connections with fellow builders who are shaping the future of AI agents.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and let's build something amazing together.

About this session:
Autonomous agents are on the rise, disrupting industries and shaping decisions in ways we’re only beginning to understand. But who defines what an “ethical” agent is? What happens to equity, sustainability, access, and employment as this technology scales?
In this discussion-based session, we’ll explore at a high level what is Agentic AI, and what are the opportunities and consequences of this technology. We will also dive into the practical – as data practitioners and AI leaders today, what can we do to ensure our teams build ethical GenAI projects while driving business value that impacts the bottom line.
What are the consequences of agents replacing human roles—and how do we mitigate negative effects on equity and employment?
What practices from traditional software and model governance should be rethought or discarded when it comes to agents?
What does good governance look like for agents—beyond just model documentation?
If these questions sound interesting, come join us! Bring your questions, ideas, and an open mind for engaging discussions with peers and a panel of leaders. This event is open to all genders and anyone curious about these topics — no prior knowledge needed.
