IEEE Central Indiana Launches Monthly Tech Talk Series on AI and Cloud for Region 4 Engineers

3 articles · Updated · IEEE Spectrum · Nov 3

Summary

  • IEEE Computer Society’s Central Indiana Chapter has started a live monthly webinar series linking Region 4 engineers, students and IEEE members with industry practitioners on emerging technologies.
  • Recent sessions focused on applied engineering rather than theory, covering AI governance, security and agentic systems through technical walkthroughs, implementation challenges and lessons from daily use.
  • Apple’s Gajendra Babu Thokala and Tavant’s Sandeep Shivam led talks on governed AI agents and AI-native products, showing how teams can use real-time business data in multistep workflows responsibly.
  • The virtual format broadens access by removing travel needs and giving students and professionals a forum to compare approaches on architecture, reliability, security, governance and product delivery.
  • Future sessions are planned on enterprise AI, software reliability, cloud platforms and responsible AI, with organizers also seeking speakers from startups, universities and research groups.
