You've probably heard it by now: 2025 is the year of the AI Agent. Agents are the hottest trend in AI –- and many believe they are the future. But what exactly are these Agents? In this talk, we'll take you on a journey starting from the very beginning: when agents were first imagined in the world of AI, how they've evolved, and why they are now accessible to everyone. We'll break down how agents work, share live demonstrations (both no-code and code-based), and dive into a lively discussion about agent security, risks, and what the future holds. Whether you're a developer, a creator, or simply curious, you'll leave with a clear understanding of why AI Agents are for all!

InnoVision Forum: Ethical Considerations for Using AI in Healthcare. Sponsored by Cantey Tech Consultants.
AI is revolutionizing healthcare by improving efficiency and potentially patient outcomes. This also raises ethical concerns.

Dr. Baker is an expert in this space who promotes expanding the use and understanding of AI in healthcare. Aaron Heath is the Chief Information Security Officer and Cybersecurity Counsel for MUSC who can offer a legal perspective on protecting patient health information. He's a senior decision-maker at MUSC who works to ensure that AI technologies comply with privacy regulations and security standards. Their expertise will help guide the conversation on balancing innovation with ethical responsibility in healthcare.
