AI in Production: Agent Economy and High-Stakes Decisions ($25)

PAID EVENT: A $25 Luma ticket is required. Meetup RSVP alone does not reserve a seat.
Register: https://luma.com/hw3fs8wp

AI is moving from answering questions to taking action. Join Ascend GenAI for an in-person evening on what it takes to deploy AI agents responsibly and use AI in decisions where mistakes are costly.

Raghu Bala has built and exited four companies and teaches at MIT Sloan. He will cover AI agent identity, delegated authority, verifiable registries, and payments, the infrastructure needed when software agents can act and transact.

Jeffrey Wen will discuss how to use AI for high-stakes decisions, where judgment, uncertainty, and accountability matter.

You will leave with:
• A clearer view of the infrastructure behind production AI agents
• Practical questions to ask before delegating authority to AI
• New connections with people building and leading AI work in Orange County

The evening includes light food and soft drinks, plus networking with engineers, founders, product leaders, and others building with AI.
