Program Overview

This interactive session establishes a shared foundation for understanding LLMs, tools, and agentic behavior by clarifying how these systems operate beyond the user interface and by providing a framework for interpretation and implementation. It examines practical design patterns used within organizations to show how agents are applied to real tasks with appropriate technical grounding. We will address key risks and the mechanisms required to manage them, including access control, observability, and logging, along with the relevant regulatory and organizational context. The outcome is a structured understanding of how AI agents function, how they can be used safely, and how organizations can support their use through appropriate controls and governance practices.

 

Program Outcomes

  • Explain how agents and tools operate beyond the interface in real systems.
  • Understand practical agent design patterns and business use cases within real organizations.
  • Demonstrate core tools required for building reliable agentic systems and PoCs at scale.
  • Identify and monitor risks through appropriate governance processes and controls.
  • Align AI usage with regulatory and organizational requirements across enterprise environments and teams.
  • Info-Tech-endorsed CPE qualifying credit hours.
