I read their debates, make decisions, and an executor agent builds my calendar. My key insight was that if advisory agents agree, the system is useless; disagreement is the feature. ​ This talk breaks down the full technical architecture, the cost model that will scales from $15/month to production, why I designed agents to argue instead of agree, and the counter-intuitive discoveries (why the first 15 minutes matter more than the next 4 hours). ​ **Talk #2:** *Building Agents That Know: Knowledge-First Design for AI Systems* \- Andrew Berry\, Sr\. Data Scientist at Bell Media ​ Most AI agent projects start in the wrong place: with tools and architecture. This talk inverts that approach and shows how reliable agents emerge from well-designed knowledge and context, not bigger models. We'll explore simple patterns for structuring what an agent knows, what it needs right now, and what should persist over time, and why simpler context design often beats complex architectures. ​ **About the Speakers:** ​[Jacintha Kurniawan ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacintha-kurniawan/)is a co-founder and AI Product Manager at Bridge AI Knowledge, where she designs and ships AI agent systems for regulated industries, creative agencies, and retail. Her work focuses on translating ambiguous, high-stakes requirements into production-ready AI in environments where trust, compliance, and adoption are critical. She is a TEDx speaker on the Economy of Trust and hosts The Deep Dive Lab, a podcast featuring 50+ conversations with AI leaders, ethicists, and operators on building pragmatic, responsible AI. ​ Jacintha holds an MBA and brings a cross-functional background spanning AI startups, data analytics at Canadian Tire, and supply chain logistics. Her recent work includes leading an automated conformity platform for a Canadian real estate regulator—processing 500K+ transactions across 200+ agencies while maintaining Law 25 compliance—and developing AI products that measurably reduce operational effort. She recently led product and technical development of Eterna, a voice AI agent for peri- and menopausal health that won first place at a hackathon by prioritizing empathy-driven conversational design. ​[Andrew Berry](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berrya/) is a Senior Data Scientist II at **Bell Canada**, where he works on applied AI and agentic systems across conversational AI, intelligence platforms, and context-aware automation. His work focuses on building reliable, production-ready AI systems and exploring how knowledge, context, and system design shape trustworthy AI behavior in real-world enterprise environments. ​ Andrew is also an experienced podcast host and public speaker, having founded and hosted *The Pandemic Job Hunt* and *The Little Big Ideas Show*. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University with a major in Information Systems and a finance concentration, and has completed formal training in data science and product management, bringing a rare blend of technical depth, business context, and communication to his work in AI. ​**Many thanks to our supporters and sponsors!** We'd also like to acknowledge our venue partners, [Highline Beta](https://www.highlinebeta.com/) for generously providing their amazing space for the event, and [PRAKTIKAI ](https://www.praktikai.com/)for making the event happen. ​​ **Speak or Support MLTO!** We are constantly looking for new speakers and sponsors to share their knowledge and help build the AI community in the GTA!

This talk synthesizes recent historical research demonstrating the close relationship between developments in statistical methods and debates over racial categories and racial admixture in human genetics. I focus on three temporal snapshots, beginning with the early 20th century peak in the collection of quantitative data by physical anthropologists for the purpose of classifying racial groups and detecting histories of human migrations and admixture. In this period, Indian statistician P. C. Mahalanobis formulated his famous distance function — still in use today for applications ranging from finance to machine learning — in order to answer questions about racial admixture in colonial India. By the postwar period, human geneticists collected different kinds of data and developed new statistical approaches, but still largely aimed to address similar questions about “populations” or “ethnic groups” shaped by concepts of racial difference. For example, major scientific disputes emerged between the 1950s and 1970s about the validity of statistical methods used to estimate racial admixture in communities of African Americans and Ashkenazi Jews. I conclude with a reflection on recent computational methods used to analyze “biogeographical ancestry” and the enduring problem of categorizing populations in human genetics. Elise Burton https://ihpst.utoronto.ca/people/directories/all-faculty/elise-burton Associate Professor Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto **About the Speaker:** am a historian of the life sciences in the modern Middle East, focusing on developments in genetics, evolutionary biology, physical anthropology, and medicine during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. My current research examines the relationship of these sciences to the formation of racial, ethnic, and national identities, and how these identities, in turn, shape the dynamics of transnational scientific collaborations. My training in Middle East area studies informs my commitment to working across languages, geographies, and disciplines to challenge Eurocentric approaches to the history of science as well as science and technology studies. My next book will examine scientific connections between the Middle East and South and East Asia. Tentatively called “Race Across Asia,” this project traces the flow of scientific ideas and research practices surrounding race and nationalism between Japan, India, Iran, and Turkey since the 1950s. Looking specifically at the fields of medical genetics, forensic fingerprinting, and archaeology, I am investigating how different kinds of trans-Asian scientific expeditions and educational networks relate to competing notions of Asian identity. **\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*** This is a talk with audience Q&A presented by the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics that is free to attend and open to the public. The talk will also be streamed online with live chat here [to be posted]. About the Centre for Ethics (http://ethics.utoronto.ca): The Centre for Ethics is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at advancing research and teaching in the field of ethics, broadly defined. The Centre seeks to bring together the theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse scholars, students, public servants and social leaders in order to increase understanding of the ethical dimensions of individual, social, and political life. In pursuit of its interdisciplinary mission, the Centre fosters lines of inquiry such as (1) foundations of ethics, which encompasses the history of ethics and core concepts in the philosophical study of ethics; (2) ethics in action, which relates theory to practice in key domains of social life, including bioethics, business ethics, and ethics in the public sphere; and (3) ethics in translation, which draws upon the rich multiculturalism of the City of Toronto and addresses the ethics of multicultural societies, ethical discourse across religious and cultural boundaries, and the ethics of international society. The Ethics of A.I. Lab at the Centre For Ethics recently appeared on a list of 10 organizations leading the way in ethical A.I.: https://ocean.sagepub.com/blog/10-organizations-leading-the-way-in-ethical-ai
