An introduction to Agentic AI, Agent Framework & deployment to cloud

Abstract: Organizations are increasingly building and deploying AI agents that can autonomously perceive, reason, and act to accomplish complex, multi-step tasks. Moving beyond simple assistants and chatbots, these autonomous agents are being integrated across enterprise functions, from customer service and finance to IT and human resources. In this session, we will: 1/ explain the core concepts of Agentic AI, will emphasize its capability for autonomous reasoning and task execution; 2/ discuss the potential impact of agentic AI suitable for business leaders, practitioners (developers) and student enthusiasts. Additionally, we will showcase (demo) an Agentic AI framework (Strands) to build AI Agents at scale following model (LLM) driven design pattern and will deploy agents in AWS Cloud using AgentCore services.
