What you'll learn

Integrating Agents with Classic ML

How time-series forecasting and optimization models anchor agentic decision-making in reality.

Operational Reliability in the Wild

Lessons from deploying autonomous agents in live supply chain workflow; fail-safes and escalation logic

Balancing Autonomy and Oversight

Frameworks for determining when agents should act independently versus defer to human operators.

Why this topic matters

Agentic AI holds huge promise for operations, but success depends on how well it complements—not replaces—traditional ML and human expertise. This talk provides an honest look at what it takes to deploy agents that deliver real business value, reliability, and trust in complex, high-stakes systems like supply chains.
