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. ...

Abstract What do we mean by “engineer”? What is an engineer? What do engineers do? Why are engineers usually considered “different” from other people? Does this help us or hurt us? How do we get bound up in our own ideals? How does this affect our work product? James Mercier will discuss these issues and more with stories from his on experiences such as interaction with work crews as an engineer, experiences with engineers when he was an electrician, and a great problem to consider from his senior year of College where he and some classmates very innocently ruined a professor’s research work Speaker(s): James Mercier Agenda: 6:25to 6:35 PM - Open for participants to enter and network. 6:35 to 6:40 PM - IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and to introduce speaker. 6:40 to 7:55PM - Formal Program and Q&A.

As Colorado State University moves towards a more robust aerospace program, the demand for established undergraduate projects in the field grows. The reduced cost, scope, and time to launch Cube Satellite programs is an attractive prospect for students to gain valuable experience with space systems, the complete engineering life cycle, and program management. From a high-altitude ballooning campaign, dual-use antenna positioner, and ground station, to international, institutional, and industry collaboration, the Open Orbit CubeSat Team is paving the way for all students, of any experience, to hit the ground running in this fast-paced and challenging industry. However, new programs built by and for undergraduate students possess a number of unique challenges. Join us as we discuss our experiences with and approaches to student turnover, engagement, knowledge transfer, open source, and more as our team approaches its second semester. Bio: From a team of three junior engineering students in January 2025, with our faculty advisor, Dr. Chandrasekar, and CSU-CHILL’s international relationship with Aalto University, Open Orbit is now a team of over 20 undergraduate students spanning all four years within the colleges of engineering, business, natural sciences, and liberal arts. Our members comprise student leadership for Triangle and DevNet, researchers across various disciplines, including satellite control systems, computational fluid dynamics, and adaptive robotics, as well as a diverse group of skilled technicians, business developers, and artists. Open Orbit receives a wealth of support and direction from a number of other faculty and industry professionals who make all of this possible.

IEEE PI2 Austin, July 22, 2025, Tech Meeting In-Person 6 PM Central / 7 PM Eastern at Balcones Country Club, 8600 Balcones Club Drive.Austin, TX 78750 Dinner Provided Abstract: In the mid-1980s, Joseph Newman, a self-educated inventor, announced that he could tap a previously unrecognized relativistic quantum mechanical phenomena in the copper wire in the stator of a specially designed generator. The result was a generator that produced much more energy than it took to make it operate. With much fanfare, it was proven that it did not work. About annually for the past two decades, videos appear on YouTube to convince a new generation that the invention works but was suppressed by a conspiracy between the government and the energy industry. This talk highlights the technology and the testing in the context of the legal and political interactions that complicated the technical approach. The presentation aims to be an interesting and entertaining insight into professional ethics and the standard of care we all must exhibit in designing, building, and testing. It also shows that marketing can be successful, at least for a time, without being closely tethered to the truth. Details: Dinner and soft beverages will be provided for those with reservations.

Engineering and construction are at a crisis point. With mental ill-health rates soaring across technical professions and two construction workers dying by suicide every day in the U.S., it's time to address the barriers preventing open conversations about well-being. This webinar explores how we can create safer workplaces—both physically and psychologically—by fostering cultures where every voice is valued and no one feels the need to mask, hide, or suppress what they’re going through. Drawing on The SAFE Leader framework—Share, Act, Feel, Empower— Chemical Engineer and entrepreneur Mark McBride-Wright will provide a practical roadmap for leaders and engineers to build environments that support mental resilience, encourage openness, and ensure that every individual can thrive. By breaking down the barriers that prevent men from seeking help and connecting with others, we can redefine what leadership and strength truly mean in engineering. Join us for a conversation that goes beyond compliance and into the heart of what it means to build a safer, more supportive profession. Speaker(s): Dr. Mark McBride-Wright Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.
