Tout voir- ACM Austin Kickoff: Lightning Talks & Tech SocialAsian American Resource Center, Austin , TX
We’re excited to kick off the first official event of ACM Austin—a new community for students, developers, researchers, and tech leaders passionate about computing and innovation.
Whether you’re looking to learn, connect, or contribute, this event is for you.📅 Agenda:
Expect fast-paced, insightful sessions from experts pushing the boundaries of AI and DevSecOps.
🎤 Talk 1: AI Agents vs. Agentic AI
Speaker: Rajesh Govindarajan
Duration: 15 minutes + Q&A
Abstract:
This talk demystifies the buzzwords AI agents and Agentic AI, which are increasingly used in overlapping but often confusing ways. Rajesh will break down what truly differentiates agentic architectures from standard LLM wrappers, and why it matters as we move beyond basic chatbot interfaces.🎤 Talk 2: Secure-by-Design AI Agents: Open-Source Workflows for DevSecOps Automation
Speaker: Hariharan Ragothaman
Duration: 15 minutes + Q&A
Abstract:
AI agents are evolving beyond prototypes and entering the software development lifecycle. In this talk, we’ll explore how to build a secure, intelligent agent that automates DevSecOps tasks—like scanning IaC for misconfigurations, detecting vulnerable dependencies, and auto-generating JIRA issues.Using Python, LangChain, Trivy, and Semgrep, Hariharan will walk through how these tools can be orchestrated in a self-improving control loop that not only performs security checks but also learns and adapts.
Key Takeaways:
- AI agents can enhance security workflows—not just chat experiences
- Open-source tools are production-ready for agentic automation
- LangChain can coordinate planning and execution—not just LLM prompts
- Build reusable frameworks, not brittle scripts
🎤 Talk 3: AI & You: Amplifying Your Potential in the Age of Intelligent Systems
Speaker: Sammy Cheung
Duration: 15 minutes + Q&A
Abstract: In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, Artificial Intelligence is a transformative force. This talk, led by an experienced Strategic Technology Consultant, will cut through the hype and explore how AI can enhance professional growth. We'll address why AI won't replace your unique problem-solving skills, but it is a powerful tool to amplify your potential. Learn to engage with AI disciplines—from foundational machine learning to advanced AI Agents and automated code generation—without feeling overwhelmed. Discover strategies to find AI opportunities that match your strengths, leverage certifications, and harness networking to succeed in this new era.
