Before we head into Day 2 is of the @aiDotEngineer World’s Fair, here are my biggest takeaways from Day 1.
-
Trust has officially become an engineering discipline. The sessions from Day 1 skipped asking “Can AI can do the work?” and went straight to evals, gates & controls.
-
Context engineering outgrew RAG. Now it’s graphs, memory, compaction & business knowledge.
-
The back office of AI has arrived: observability, authority layers, and “what is this agent allowed to touch?” are the burning questions.
-
@charles_irl & @swyx play some mean tunes
Intelligence is abundant. Trust, context & governance are the new moat.
Last year we got the calculator. This year we’re building the accounting department.
Day 2 @aiDotEngineer World Fair.
Had the pleasure of linking with @sabrinaesaquino & @joshmo_dev from @AskVenice and @f_makraduli from @superlinked and also perhaps my favorite swag from an AI event. AGI Pills!
