Talk Title:
Agentic AI, Interoperability, and Automation: Lessons from the Past, Visions for the Future

Abstract:
Imagine a future where machines can seamlessly communicate, coordinate, and make decisions on their own. Les Gasser did when he was a founding figure in the field of multiagent systems in the 1980's. But how did we get here? And what can we learn from analogous successes and setbacks of the past? This talk takes a fascinating journey through the history of technological advancements, relating lessons learned from the past to today. What can we learn from the early adoption and standardization of network protocols and web services discovery to understand where agentic tool use may be going? Will LLMs play a stronger role in interoperability, contextualization, or functionality? Join Dr. Hazard as we explore the frontiers of agentic AI, interoperability, and automation, and leave with new ideas of the past and for the future.
