Agentic AI Making Million Dollar Decisions: Keynote Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

We have gone from AI that generates to AI that reasons to AI that builds and does things. We have gone from Generative AI to Agentic AI. While in theory and under closed conditions, an LLM is deterministic, in current practical applications it returns a probabilistic outcomes. At the same time, these highly probabilistic AI agents / agentic AI have increasingly become a part of business workflows, taking actions, making decisions and doing things for you. Agentic AI is making million dollar decisions while it still hallucinates, isn't always accurate, can be hacked, prompt injected, and doesn't have deterministic guardrails around it. In this keynote, I cover: 1) The Current State of Agentic AI, 2) Current Threat Landscape with AI 3) How to Govern and Secure Agentic AI

No network. Just raw skills, grit, and a vision.
I’ll show you the 3 key moves that changed everything for me, how I stopped chasing jobs and started attracting them, how I built my personal brand - offline and online - and made people talk about me when I wasn't in the room, and why being “skilled” isn’t enough (and what to do instead)
If you’re stuck, undervalued, or wondering what your next move should be, this is the video I wish I had when I was in your shoes.
Let’s get you where you belong.
