🎤 Speakers & Topics:
Prof. Ramesh Raskar — Agentic Web & the Future of Slovakia
Associate Professor of the MIT Media Lab, inventor, and pioneer in computational imaging and machine-learning technologies for health, sustainability, and autonomous systems. Prof. Raskar will discuss the rise of the agentic web and how Slovakia can prepare to lead in this new technological era.
The Agentic Web promises to democratize AI, counterbalance AGI, and unlock trillions in value but faces risks of fragmentation and centralization. To ensure openness, interoperability, and user sovereignty, MIT’s Networked AI Agents in Decentralized Architecture (NANDA) proposes a three-phase roadmap (More about the project: https://projnanda.github.io/projnanda/#/)
