AI Agents for Java using Azure AI Foundry and GitHub Copilot
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (UTC)
In this session we’ll show you how to embed advanced AI Agent capabilities into your Java applications using Azure AI Foundry, including setting project goals and experimenting with models and securely deploying production-ready solutions at scale. Along the way, you’ll learn how GitHub Copilot (in IntelliJ, VS Code, and Eclipse) can streamline coding and prompt creation, while best practices in model selection, fine-tuning, and agentic workflows ensure responsible and efficient development. Whether you’re new to AI Agents or looking for advanced agent-building techniques, this session will equip you to deliver next-level experiences with the tooling you already know.

Building Java AI Agents using LangChain4j and Dynamic Sessions
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (UTC)
Unlock the potential of AI Agents in your Java applications by combining LangChain4j with Azure Container Apps (ACA) dynamic sessions connected to Azure AI services. This session showcases a practical example of building an agent capable of interacting with a remote environment, including file management. Learn how to define custom tools, integrate them into agent workflows, and leverage Azure's scalable infrastructure to deploy intelligent, dynamic solutions.

Irresponsible AI Agents
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (UTC)
Join us as we explore the potential risks of AI agents and tackle the challenge of embedding trustworthy AI practices into conversational AI platforms! This session dives deep into examples of irresponsible AI agents—showcasing jaw-dropping examples of model failures, adversarial jailbreaks, and other risks that erode trust and compliance. We'll explore Microsoft’s cutting-edge tools for trustworthy AI, including content filters, red teaming strategies, and evaluations—featuring live demos of AI agents behaving both responsibly and irresponsibly in ways you won’t believe. 🔥 What you’ll walk away with: ✅ How to spot and mitigate AI risks before they can be exploited ✅ How to deploy Azure AI Content Safety to detect and mitigate risky behavior ✅ The secret sauce to making AI agents trustworthy Get ready for a session packed with hype, high-stakes AI drama, and must-know strategies to keep your AI on the right side of history. Don’t just build AI—build AI that matters! https://aka.ms/ManageGenAILifecycles
