Speaker: Dr Ali Arsanjani, Director, Applied AI Engineering, Head of AI CoE, Google Cloud
The “Agentic Era” of AI is here, promising to revolutionize how we interact with and extract value from our data. But as with any powerful new technology, there are pitfalls. This session will explore the common challenges and best practices for deploying AI agents. We’ll delve into how companies are leveraging Google’s Gemini 2.5 models, Google ADK, Agent Engine and Agentspace and the innovative Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol to build the next generation of AI agents. You will learn how this collaboration is enabling more accurate and reliable data extraction, complete with confidence scores, to transform workflows in financial services, legal, HR, and beyond. Join us to discover how to navigate the complexities of the agentic era and unlock the full potential of your organization’s data.
