Lego Robotics

**"One architect with an AI Agent fleet is a department. Don't be the one being out-scaled"** AI is no longer just helping developers write code. It is changing how products are built — from writing code to managing autonomous AI agents. Master the **Economics of Autonomy** to scale your business using tokens instead of headcount, while evolving from a coder into an **Architect** who commands an AI fleet. No fluff—just a live build of an agent's "brain," setting operational guardrails, and calculating real ROI for the 2026 work model. This session combines two perspectives: • Strategic — how AI agents reshape teams, costs, and product development • Practical — what actually happens when you try to use them in real coding workflows No hype. No polished demos. Just how things really work in 2026. **No hype, no spiritual fluff—just the blueprint for the 2026 operations model.** **IS THIS FOR YOU?** * **FOR BUSINESS (Founders & Managers):** * **The Problem:** Scaling with people is slow, expensive, and increasingly inefficient. * **The Shift:** Autonomous workflows (“digital workers”) start replacing routine execution. **What you’ll see:** • How AI agents can replace repetitive tasks • How to think in cost-per-task instead of salary • Where most AI initiatives fail • What early-stage adoption actually looks like * **FOR TECH (Engineers & Architects):** * **The Problem:** If AI can write code — what is your role? **The Shift:** From writing code → to controlling systems that generate and evolve it. **What you’ll see:** • How to use AI agents as co-pilots (not toys) • Why most generated code fails without control • What “agent architecture” looks like in practice • How real workflows differ from demos **THE AGENDA (60 Minutes of Reality)** * **Part 1 — Strategy & Reality (Ivan, CTO)** • Why 90% of AI projects fail • The Economics of Autonomy: tokens vs headcount • What “AI agents” actually are (beyond buzzwords) • Guardrails: autonomy without losing control • The 2026 operating model **Part 2 — Live Reality Check (Sergii, Architect)** A real AI coding agent, live: • Task → agent execution • Where it breaks (and it will) • How to control and correct it • How rules, constraints, and structure change the outcome **WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH:** * **Engineers:** A clear view of how to move from “code writer” to “agent controller”. **Managers:** A practical lens on where AI can (and cannot) replace work. **Everyone:** A grounded understanding of what is real — and what is noise — in AI development today.

Couldn't make Knowledge? Or want to debrief the dancing robots or Autonomous Workforce? Join us for a Knowledge '26 recap, insights sharing, a couple rounds of golf, and fun at Topgolf. As always, drinks and food will be provided. More details to come — mark your calendar, RSVP, and save your spot today!

Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space. No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving. If you’d like to take the stage, message \*\*Chris (the organizer)\*\*with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

FREE event [https://www.ccad.edu/chroma](https://www.ccad.edu/chroma) Friday, May 15, 3–7 p.m. CCAD campus, 60 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, OH Join Columbus College of Art & Design for *2025* *Chroma: Best of CCAD*, our annual campuswide exhibition showcasing outstanding student work from across the college’s academic programs. This faculty-juried show features select work from CCAD students of all class years, and is a can’t-miss end-of-year campus celebration recognizing their tremendous achievements. It’ll be a night of fun and entertainment, with interactive games, animation and film screenings, art symposiums, poetry and prose readings, and more (along with some of the best local food trucks). *Chroma* is free and open to all. Many exhibitions including... **Game Art & Design:** **DSB, first floor, Welcome Center lobby and Room 115**

We will show how to build custom agents with Microsoft Agent Framework. Attendees will learn how to build and custom host agents when Microsoft Foundry is not a viable option.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.
