Keynote Title
Agentic AI Resilience: Toward Trustworthy and Secure Autonomous Systems
Keynote Abstract
In Agentic AI systems, autonomous agents that plan, act, use tools, and coordinate over extended horizons are moving rapidly from research demonstrations into production settings. As they take on greater autonomy, their failure modes grow more consequential and harder to anticipate. This talk surveys the emerging landscape of agentic AI resilience: the capacity of autonomous agents to maintain dependable operation despite faults, adversaries, and unforeseen conditions.
