We’re excited to continue the Orange County Computer Society (OCCS) Global Emerging Technologies (GET) Series—a monthly platform dedicated to spotlighting groundbreaking innovations in computer science and technology. Hosted by the IEEE Orange County Computer Society Chapter, this series brings together professionals, students, and tech enthusiasts to explore what’s next in emerging tech.

Following an insightful June session focused on enterprise AI integration and large language model (LLM) development, we’re back this August after a brief summer break with another dynamic double-feature exploring AI at scale—from healthcare to production-ready ML systems.

As AI adoption accelerates, so do the complexities of real-world deployment. This month’s talks tackle those complexities head-on, offering both strategic and technical perspectives on building reliable, scalable, and human-centered AI solutions.

In this session:
🔹 The first talk bridges the gap between ML experimentation and production. Through a practical case study, it explores the full machine learning lifecycle—from training to CI/CD-enabled deployment—along with best practices in MLOps, model monitoring, and cross-functional collaboration.
🔹 The second talk delves into the deployment of agentic AI systems in healthcare, addressing challenges such as data heterogeneity, safety, regulation, and trust. You’ll learn about explanation-based and modular design principles, hybrid RAG-based deployment strategies, and real-world applications across triage, radiology, and dementia care.

Key topics include:
✅ Designing safe, explainable agentic AI in healthcare
✅ Deployment frameworks using hybrid RAG models
✅ ML development lifecycle: from notebooks to production
✅ CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and model versioning
✅ Scalable and collaborative MLOps strategies

Whether you're building AI for regulated industries or scaling ML pipelines across teams, this session will provide the tools, frameworks, and real-world insights to drive your work forward.

📅 Join us on Tuesday, September 30 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PT for an evening of learning, discussion, and community.
