Agent Harnesses and Systems Engineering

AUG13
18:00
  • This conference explores agent harnesses as a method to make nondeterministic AI systems trustworthy for practical applications.
  • It is intended for engineers, technologists, and AI practitioners interested in systems engineering and AI reliability.
  • Attendees will learn about approaches to improving AI deployment in real-world environments.

About this event

PRESENTATION OVERVIEW

Agent harnesses are becoming the way teams turn nondeterministic AI into something worth trusting in real work. This talk gets into what it actually takes — the engineering patterns, the failure modes that only show up after many runs, and the design choices that matter most — based on agentic AI work in security and infrastructure. Trust in agents isn't a property of the model. It's something you engineer around it.

Speaker:
Bryan Starbuck

Principal AI Research Engineer with 25+ years of experience, focused on building agentic AI systems for critical infrastructure. The interesting problem in agentic AI right now isn't capability — it's reliability over long horizons. My work centers on the scaffolding around models: verification agents, adversarial testing, and regression frameworks that enable empirical trust-building in agents over time.
