From Prompts to Autonomous Agents: How AI Is Reshaping Research, Teaching, and Industry

Mr. Hareesh Kadlabalu, Consultant on AI engineering 

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving from prompt-based systems to robust toolchains and task-oriented agents capable of autonomous learning and adaptation. This talk provides an accessible yet forward-looking overview of recent AI developments and their growing impact on both industry and academia.

We will explore how modern AI systems are being used to accelerate research, enhance productivity, support teaching, and enable new forms of collaboration. Moving from interactive prompting to tool-augmented workflows and self-improving agents, the session highlights real-world applications across multiple industries, including technology, healthcare, education, and data-driven research environments.

The discussion will examine emerging opportunities, skill sets, and research directions at the intersection of AI innovation and academic work and insights into where AI is heading and how the next generation of scholars and professionals can actively shape—and benefit from—this transition.
