The 10 things from AI Agent Conference 2026 NYC (May 4-5, NY Hilton Midtown) that are actually load-bearing if you ship agents in 2026. The trust paradox, CrewAI's 42% AI-authored code, the iceberg under every project, AX as the new UX, and what the panels from Datadog, LanceDB, Carta, and the Codex/Linear/Graphite room actually said.
The 10 things from AI Dev 26 SF (April 28-29, Pier 48) that are actually load-bearing if you build agentic systems in 2026. Marc Brooker on defects, Andrew Ng on PM bottlenecks, Bain's 8-subgraph payroll system, the 4-legged identity, hybrid doc OCR, and the simulation sandbox every action-taking agent needs.
Why human-in-the-loop is the only ethical and profitable way to scale agentic AI in a world of bot fatigue.
Privacy, security, and consent when agents have access to your terminal and your sensitive data. The 2026 framework, and the EU AI Act deadline most teams are sleeping on.
