SUMMARY:AI Native Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Orlando JUG (Java User Group)\n## AI Native Architecture for Java Applications\n* We are currently moving from “AI-enabled” systems\, where artificial intelligence is an additive feature\, to “AI-native” systems\, where intelligence is the foundational\, architectural core. An AI-native application is not merely a traditional application with a machine learning model bolted on; it is an entirely new class of software designed from the ground up to learn\, adapt\, and act autonomously. These systems are architected around continuous data ingestion\, real-time model interaction\, and a contextual understanding of the application and runtime environment.\n* We’ll discuss the key elements mentioned above and the difference between existing applications that have added AI capability as an accessory\, and this new class of applications that are built with AI in mind from the start. While we’ll use the Java ecosystem in examples\, the principles we’ll discuss are language agnostic. We’ll focus on the architecture discuss these topics:\n– Big Data and data pipelines\n– Integration with other services and APIs\n– Testing considerations\n– Evolution of UI/AX \nFormat\n* 6:30pm — Welcome & networking: **Pizza\, drinks and name tags will be provided—come hungry and ready to connect!**\n* 7:00pm — Get people into the auditorium.\n* 7:05pm — Orlando JUG and ODevs opening remarks.\n* 7:10pm — *AI Native Architecture for Java Applications.*\n* 8:20pm — Q&A. **Two attendees will each win an IntelliJ IDEA license and 3 attendees will each win an O’Reilly book of their choice (from our selection of 10).** \n  \nSpeaker\n* Pratik Patel is a Java Champion\, developer advocate at Azul Systems and has written 3 books on programming (Java\, Cloud and OSS). An all around software and hardware nerd with experience in the healthcare\, telecom\, financial services\, and startup sectors. He’s also a co-organizer of the Atlanta Java User Group and Enterprise AI Atlanta\, conference chairperson for Devnexus\, frequent speaker at tech events\, and master builder of nachos.
