​appliedAI developers meetups bring together engineers, researchers and tech leaders to solve real-world production AI challenges.

​MEETUP FOCUS:

• ​Theme:

  • ​Let's Debate: AI Agents, Cloud Control & Zero Trust Security

• ​Agenda:

  • ​Welcome & Minglement with Pizza

  • ​Panel 1: Agents as a Service in the Cloud: Who is Really in Control?

    • ​Panelists: Arpita Sarker, Hamed Roknizadeh, Prof. Alexander Jesser, Vivek Subramanian

    • ​As AI agents move from experimental prototypes to production-grade cloud services, the question of ownership, accountability, and orchestration has never been more critical. This panel brings together startup CTOs, domain experts, and academics to dissect the architectural and strategic decisions behind deploying autonomous agents at scale. From API dependencies to runtime behavior, we explore where human oversight ends and where it should.

  • ​Panel 2: Zero Trust, Zero Excuses: Rethinking Security for the AI Era

    • ​Panelists: Kseniia Guillement, Dr. Alessandro Fontana, Syed Amir Hamza

    • ​AI is reshaping the threat landscape faster than most security frameworks were designed to handle, forcing organizations to rethink foundational assumptions about trust, access, and data integrity. This panel convenes cybersecurity practitioners, researchers, and technology leaders to confront the hard questions around securing systems where the attack surface is dynamic, data-driven, and increasingly autonomous. The message is clear: in the AI era, legacy security postures are not just insufficient, they are a liability.
