This event is about **joined minds**, honest exchange, and collective growth — building a bigger future together.

Can crime be predicted by algorithms? And if so, should we use them to prevent crimes from happening? This question has fueled many dystopian works of fiction, such as **Minority Report**, which imagines a technology capable of predicting crimes in precise detail and raises fundamental questions about free will and individual responsibility. **Person of Interest** explores a more realistic scenario, where machine learning and mass surveillance are used to identify high-risk individuals through the monitoring of communications. Many episodes of **Black Mirror** similarly examine the consequences of predictive technologies and their impact on privacy, liberty, and social control. A common theme emerges from these stories: such technologies are often portrayed not as tools of public safety, but as threats to freedom and democracy. Yet the idea is not purely fictional. While no system today can predict crimes with the certainty depicted in science fiction, predictive algorithms are already being used in various aspects of law enforcement and criminal justice. **COMPAS**, for example, has been used in American courts to estimate the likelihood that a defendant will reoffend. **Geolitica**, formerly known as **PredPol**, uses historical crime data to forecast crime hotspots and guide police deployment. More broadly, advances in artificial intelligence, big data, and digital surveillance continue to expand our ability to identify patterns in human behavior. Some even point to the Chinese **Social Credit System** as an example of how large-scale data collection can be used to monitor and influence citizens. Now that the technological capabilities have already been laid out, should we, as a society, pursue the endeavor of developing a predictive algorithm that would allow us to prevent crime? Or is there a moral imperative that prevents us from doing so? Join us as we debate whether predictive crime technology represents the future of public safety or the first step toward a surveillance dystopia. This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.** Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming: * **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. * **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. * **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. * **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.

In this talk, Remy Florean explores how the way we communicate research findings must adapt to different audiences. He will also dive into the political dimension of UX research, where insights can become powerful tools in broader organizational dynamics. **Speaker panel 2: Sacha Kocovski, David Morgan, Joannes Vermeulen & Kathleen Van den Keybus** **Surviving the evolution of the UX industry.** *Moderated by Karol Dulat* The UX industry is changing fast.

Welcome to the age of the Agentic Stack, where we bridge the gap between deterministic engineering and the new frontier of autonomous systems. We’ll explore how to build AI agents that fulfill the security, reliability, and automation requirements for the enterprise, and how the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is being rebuilt from the ground up by agentic IDEs. **THIS MEETUP will be in ENGLISH and HYBRID\. \|** Zoom Link is visible for remote attendees after registration. **\*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\*** * 6:30\-7:00 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\. * 7:00 PM \| Welcome & Intro **Start of the hybrid meetup** * 7:05 PM \| **The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the age of AI Agents** by Harald Seipp (Principal Client Engineering EMEA Solution Architect & STSM at IBM) & Thomas Südbröcker (Senior Engineer and Solution Architect at IBM) * around 8:05 PM \| **Mastering Multi-Agent Systems with the Agentic Layer** \- Florian Mallmann \(Senior Software Engineer at QAware\) * afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers. **\*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\*** **The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the age of AI Agents - Harald Seipp (Principal Client Engineering EMEA Solution Architect & STSM at IBM) & Thomas Südbröcker (Senior Engineer and Solution Architect at IBM)** This session explores how agentic AI is reshaping every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), transforming development workflows from requirements gathering to maintenance. Using IBM’s perspective on agentic IDEs, the presentation demonstrates how AI‑driven tools can autonomously understand context, plan and execute multi‑step tasks, generate code and tests, refactor across entire codebases, and assist in deployment and troubleshooting. Attendees will learn how these capabilities reshape developer roles, accelerate solution workshops and pilot builds, and enable teams to deliver more with fewer resources. Risks, best practices, and the evolving future of autonomous SDLC pipelines are also discussed, offering a pragmatic view of how to adopt agentic development responsibly and effectively. If time permits, we can also provide a brief look at agentic Ops, including a Kubernetes cluster administration live demonstration. **Mastering Multi-Agent Systems with the Agentic Layer - Florian Mallmann (Senior Software Engineer at QAware)** The software landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Agentic AI. While microservices operate deterministically, AI agents act probabilistically and often unpredictably, making them autonomous. This presents a significant challenge for platform engineers and DevOps teams. In this talk, we will demonstrate how our open source [Agentic Layer](https://github.com/agentic-layer) helps to develop agents that meet high enterprise standards for security and reliability. We will showcase a live demonstration of three critical pillars for robust AI development: * **Workload Orchestration:** Discover how we define modular agent logics and chain them together to create highly efficient, scalable workflows. * **Quality Plane (Testability):** Say goodbye to the "prompt lottery." We will demo how to implement automated test cases that make the output quality and logical correctness of your agents objectively measurable. * **Compliance Plane (Guardrails):** See "security through technology" in action. We'll show you how to write and deploy real-time guardrails that prevent personally identifiable information (PII) leaks and ensure strict adherence to regulatory requirements. Whether you are building your first agent or scaling an existing system, this live demo will give you practical insights into deploying safe, predictable, and high-performing AI applications. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please note that photos are taken during the meetup.

We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio! The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us! And yes, there will be free food. So please RSVP for a head count!

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
