AI Superstream: AI Engineering
by Fabiana Clemente, Chip Huyen, Vaibhav Gupta, Aurimas Griciūnas, Ryan Sweet, Michael Albada, Aishwarya Naresh Reganti, Nicole Königstein, David Aronchick
Overview
With the development of “model as a service,” the powers of AI are now accessible to anyone with a solid set of prompting skills. However, leveraging the capabilities of AI models has its own set of challenges and requires new skills and techniques to ensure the reliability of AI applications in production.
Fabiana Clemente welcomes a panel of speakers who are exploring the frontier of AI engineering and building the skills to meet this moment. They’ll share the current state of this subdiscipline and what it demands of AI practitioners and software engineers who are transitioning to AI engineering. They’ll also discuss emerging and established technologies, such as the leading AI models and agent frameworks as well as new agent protocols, and they’ll examine the challenges of moving from simple prototypes to production-ready AI systems.
