Beyond the Buzzwords: What Actually Matters in AI Systems

​Most AI conversations today stay on the surface.

​“What is an LLM?” “What is an Agent?”

​But real systems don’t run on definitions.

​They run on the things no one explains.

​This session is about those things.

​We’ll go beyond the usual AI narratives and explore the components that actually make systems work in practice.

​Not just what these systems are called but how they behave, scale, and break.

​What you can expect:

• ​Concepts that are widely used, but rarely explained clearly

• ​Practical insights into how modern AI systems are structured

• ​A deeper look at the layers behind LLMs and agent-based workflows

• ​Discussions that go beyond tutorials and into real-world thinking

​This session is for you if:

• ​You’ve moved past beginner-level AI content

• ​You want to understand systems, not just terminology

• ​You’re building, experimenting, or planning to work with AI

• ​You’re curious about what actually matters behind the scenes
