Join Alon Fliess, Azure AI Platform MVP and Microsoft Regional Director, for a transformative lecture exploring how Semantic Kernel is ushering in a new era of software development. In a world where deterministic algorithms are no longer sufficient on their own, developers and architects must embrace hybrid solutions that integrate deterministic logic, heuristic approaches, and cutting-edge AI technologies such as generative AI and machine learning.

This session dives into the paradigm shift in software engineering, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of building systems that must evaluate and manage non-deterministic results alongside deterministic logic. With the increasing use of AI agents that generate solutions and validation agents that safeguard and guide their output, responsible AI practices are becoming central to modern software development.

Attendees will gain insights into the capabilities of Semantic Kernel, a project that seamlessly integrates C# with AI-driven functionalities. By combining traditional programming approaches with AI capabilities, developers can craft systems that are not only intelligent but also adaptable to complex and evolving environments. This lecture will showcase real-world applications of Semantic Kernel, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize diagnostics, analysis, and decision-making in sophisticated systems.

By the end of the session, C# developers and architects will have a deep understanding of the concepts and methodologies driving this paradigm shift. They will leave equipped with the tools and knowledge to harness Semantic Kernel and its capabilities, bridging the gap between conventional programming and the dynamic, AI-powered future of software development.
