SUMMARY:Arizona AI & Emerging Technology: Agent Harnesses and Systems Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Agent harnesses are becoming the way teams turn nondeterministic AI into something worth trusting in real work. This talk gets into what it actually takes — the engineering patterns\, the failure modes that only show up after many runs\, and the design choices that matter most — based on agentic AI work in security and infrastructure. Trust in agents isn’t a property of the model. It’s something you engineer around it. \nSpeaker:\nBryan Starbuck \nPrincipal AI Research Engineer with 25+ years of experience\, focused on building agentic AI systems for critical infrastructure. The interesting problem in agentic AI right now isn’t capability — it’s reliability over long horizons. My work centers on the scaffolding around models: verification agents\, adversarial testing\, and regression frameworks that enable empirical trust-building in agents over time. \nEvent Details: \n\nLocation: 1951@Skysong @ Scottsdale\, AZ\nTime: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM – talk will begin at 6:00pm (we get kicked out promptly at 7:30pm)\nFree Parking: Easily available (free)\nFood: Simple Pizza and Water
