Join leading AI researchers from around the world at Monash University for the Pre-NeurIPS Workshop on Agentic AI, exploring the challenges and opportunities of building reliable, efficient and trustworthy AI systems.

As AI agents become increasingly capable of planning, using tools and acting autonomously, how can we ensure they perform reliably in real-world environments?

The Monash Pre-NeurIPS Workshop on Agentic AI brings together senior researchers, emerging researchers and the Monash NeurIPS community to examine the latest developments in agentic AI.

The workshop will explore:

  • Reliability and trustworthiness: Building AI agents that perform consistently and responsibly in real-world applications.
  • Efficiency and capability: Understanding the opportunities and challenges of long-horizon planning, tool use and foundation-model agents.
  • Future research directions: Identifying approaches to developing AI systems that are both capable and accountable.

The program features invited talks from international and Australian researchers, presentations of Monash NeurIPS research and a panel discussion.
