In the world of AI agents, semantics is king. Good metadata is thus essential in an organization's AI readiness checklist. But how do we keep up with the massive influx of new data? In this talk we go over the tips and tricks in generating synthetic metadata for the consumption of human users and AI agents alike.AI vs Human Writing: Can You Tell the Difference?

This slide illustrates a side-by-side comparison between human-written, AI-written, and ambiguous content. It highlights subtle cues that help readers assess authenticity, raising essential questions about the future of communication, trust, and thought leadership in the age of generative AI.Cracking the Code - Unveiling Synergies Between Open Source Security and AI.pdf

Hi, Im Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as Ive transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs Well talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is Fifth Element. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and Im impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldnt be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we dont know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didnt steal jobsthey transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.

This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.Salesforce Summer '25 Release Frenchgathering.pptx.pdf

We live in an ever evolving landscape for cyber threats creating security risk for your production systems. Mitigating these risks requires participation throughout all stages from development through production delivery - and by every role including architects, developers QA and DevOps engineers, product owners and leadership. No one is excused! This session will cover examples of common mistakes or missed opportunities that can lead to vulnerabilities in production - and ways to do better throughout the development lifecycle.EIS-Webinar-Engineering-Retail-Infrastructure-06-16-2025.pdf

As AI reshapes expectations in retail and B2B commerce, organizations are recognizing a critical reality: meaningful AI outcomes depend on well-structured, adaptable infrastructure. In this session, Seth Earley is joined by Phil Ryan - AI strategist, search technologist, and founder of Glass Leopard Technologies - for a candid conversation on what it truly means to engineer systems for scale, agility, and intelligence.
Phil draws on more than two decades of experience leading search and AI initiatives for enterprise organizations. Together, he and Seth explore the challenges businesses face when legacy architectures limit personalization, agility, and real-time decisioning - and what needs to change to support agentic technologies and next-best-action capabilities.
Key themes from the webinar include:
Composability as a prerequisite for AI油- Why modular, loosely coupled systems are essential for adapting to rapid innovation and evolving business needs
Search and relevance as foundational to AI油- How techniques honed-in enterprise search have laid the groundwork for more responsive and intelligent customer experiences
From MDM and CDP to agentic systems油- How data platforms are evolving to support richer customer context and dynamic orchestration
Engineering for business alignment油- Why successful AI programs require architectural decisions grounded in measurable outcomes
The conversation is practical and forward-looking, connecting deep technical understanding with real-world business needs. Whether youre modernizing your commerce stack or exploring how AI can enhance product discovery, personalization, or customer journeys, this session provides a clear-eyed view of the capabilities, constraints, and priorities that matter most.Lessons Learned from Developing Secure AI Workflows.pdf
