About This Event

Join us for an exciting lecture by Jure Leskovec, Slovenian computer scientist and AI expert. Jure is an associate professor at Stanford University, former Chief Scientist at Pinterest, and the co-founder of the AI graph-ML startup Kumo.

His talk, "From Autonomous Agents to Predictive Models: Building the Future of AI", will explore how autonomous AI agents are transforming industries and scientific research by integrating execution with predictive modeling. This event is ideal for engineers, researchers, and investors interested in the future of AI and intelligent systems.

Speaker

Jure Leskovec is a renowned expert in machine learning and data mining, particularly known for his work on large-scale networks and graph neural networks. As a professor at Stanford University and former Chief Scientist at Pinterest, he has been at the forefront of developing AI systems that can understand and predict complex patterns in data.

Talk Abstract

AI agents are poised to transform how we solve complex, real-world problems by autonomously executing tasks across scientific and industrial domains. But true autonomy requires more than just action—it requires decision-making. For agents to make meaningful decisions, they must interpret data, build models, and anticipate the consequences of their actions.

This talk explores the key components needed to build such intelligent systems, from agents that can operate across diverse tools and environments to foundational models that reason over private, structured data. By combining execution and prediction, we unlock the potential for scalable, intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and drive discovery.
