Events for July 24, 2026

This session explores how to make autonomous AI agents trustworthy at scale. Using a fraud investigation scenario built on Apache Kafka, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and an LLM-based reasoning agent, the talk shows how governance can be engineered into both the real-time data layer and the tool boundary that controls agent actions. Attendees will learn - Why the trust boundary in an agentic system belongs in the server, not only in the prompt - How MCP can be used as a typed, auditable governance contract - Engineering patterns behind shadow mode, approval-gated tools, and multi-model routing - How these concepts come together in a working open-source reference implementation they can explore afterward This session is designed for engineers, architects, product leaders, researchers, students, and anyone interested in building trustworthy AI-agent systems.

[]Over the course of a little less than twenty years, inventor Frank J. Sprague (1857-1934) achieved an astonishing series of technological breakthroughs--from pioneering work in self-governing motors to developing the first full-scale operational electric railway system--all while commercializing his inventions and promoting them (and himself as their inventor) to financial backers and the public.
