The One About AI Agents (Round II)
How are organizations implementing and securing agentic AI systems today? From structured foundations to security measures, and government applications, join us for a comprehensive look at making agentic AI work in practice!
More About the Sharings
John Tan (Applied AI Research Scientist, Kite Edge Ltd) will showcase how to generate structured output using StrictJSON and how to use it in an agentic framework AgentJo. Structured output is important for LLM-based pipelines and is key for downstream plug and play of various agentic components. (Technical Level: 200)
Join Prity Jha and Dr. Zakaria Najm from Nestria AI as they unveil how autonomous AI agents can be manipulated—and how to secure them from the inside out. This session will feature insights into emerging threats, along with a preview at Nestria’s tools for AI model / agent scanning and runtime protection. Whether you're building, deploying, or overseeing AI systems, discover how to gain visibility, integrity, and trust in the next generation of intelligent agents. (Technical Level: 200 - 300)
Wilson Ng (Data Scientist, GovTech's AI Practice) will guide you through the practical world of Agentic AI in government. Learn how autonomous AI agents are being deployed in public services, understand the fundamental concepts behind these systems, and get guidance on how to get started with implementing agentic AI. Have a peek into their Agentic AI Primer here!
