He shows that today’s agents aren’t just “smart autocomplete” but self-directed ideators, experimenters, analysts, and creators. Drawing on his recent publications, he argues that AI agents already deliver end-to-end autonomy: how aiXplain autonomously refine Agentic AI workflows via continuous LLM-driven feedback loops, ideate and implement enterprise Agentic AI use-cases, and derive actionable business insights from enterprise data—producing executive-ready reports without human intervention. ...

Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, moving beyond static models and reactive systems to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of setting goals, making decisions, and adapting over time. Unlike traditional AI, which passively responds to inputs, agentic AI can plan, reason, and act in complex, real-world environments—making it especially suited for the demands of modern healthcare. ... Speaker – Dr. Anuradha Kar https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.18.58-PM.png Title: Trustworthiness of Agentic AI Abstract – ...this speech will be about understanding the need for trustworthiness in Agentic AI and learning about the latest developments in ensuring it. The speech will discuss not only technical solution approaches but also our responsibilities to build human-compatible Agentic AI. ... Speaker – Dr. Utku Kose https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.16.25-PM.png Title: Beyond the Buzz: Defining Agentic AI Systems, Their Capabilities, and the Path Forward Abstract – Despite widespread discussion of AI agents across industry and academia, the field lacks consensus on fundamental questions: What exactly constitutes an agent? What problems can current agents realistically solve versus what remains beyond their reach? This talk addresses the clarity gap by examining current agent capabilities and limitations through real-world examples, and establishing concrete problem statements for researchers and practitioners. ... Speaker: Ranjitha Gurunath Kulkarni https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.13.42-PM.png Title: Agentic AI: Redefining Autonomy in Intelligent Systems Abstract – Agentic AI is reshaping the boundaries of artificial intelligence by enabling systems that move beyond reactive responses to exhibit autonomy, initiative, and adaptability. These agents are capable of independently setting goals, planning multi-step actions, maintaining memory over time, and interacting intelligently with their environments. ...
