Summary

Join Babak Hodjat, Chief AI Officer at Cognizant, as he unpacks what's actually happening at the cutting edge of agentic AI — from agents that run continuously without being asked, to the governance crisis quietly unfolding inside enterprises right now. Babak draws on decades of AI research to break down multi-agent architecture, the TerraLingua experiment that let AI agents form their own societies, and a breakthrough in evolutionary fine-tuning that could change how the entire industry thinks about customizing large language models.
