CAREER TALK

Most people will watch AI content in 2026. A smaller group will ship projects, build proof, and create leverage. This session is for the second group.

In this talk, we’ll walk through a 2026 roadmap that moves you from “AI curious” to shipping real AI applications—starting with foundations, then RAG systems, then tool-using agents, and finally a capstone that strengthens your portfolio and career options.

We’ll cover:

• What an “AI Builder” actually does (scope → build → evaluate → iterate)
• The Q1–Q4 roadmap for learning and building in 2026
• High-leverage project ideas (RAG assistants, workflow agents, internal tools)
• How to add trust: citations, refusal rules, and simple evaluation sets
• The AI Curious → AI Builder challenge launching 10 January 2026 (tracks, checkpoints, deliverables)

Who should attend: students, early-career professionals, analysts, developers, and founders who want practical execution and real outputs.

What you’ll leave with: a roadmap you can follow, a starter project blueprint, and a clear plan to build proof publicly.
