Featuring Ekaterina Sirazitdinova, Senior Developer Advocate at NVIDIA
Abu Dhabi, UAE. During the Machine Can Think Summit in Abu Dhabi on January 26 and 27, 2026, a focused workshop titled “The Future of AI: Key Trends Shaping What’s Next” will bring technical leaders together to examine how AI systems move from testing into production.
The workshop will feature Ekaterina Sirazitdinova, Senior Developer Advocate at NVIDIA. The session addresses the growing gap between AI experimentation and the development of deployed systems used in real environments. Many teams succeed in testing models yet struggle with architecture, scalability, and long term reliability.
Ekaterina Sirazitdinova will explain how multimodal models are reshaping AI system and product architecture. These models combine text, vision, audio, and other inputs within a single system. The session will outline how this shift affects infrastructure planning, data pipelines, and application design.
The workshop will also focus on agentic workflows and their role in automation and adaptability. Agent based systems support task planning, tool execution, and decision making across complex processes. The discussion will cover how these workflows influence orchestration, monitoring, and system control.
Advances in reasoning capabilities will form another core topic. New model designs support longer context handling and more structured reasoning. The session will explain how these developments affect model evaluation, system design choices, and deployment approaches.
The workshop translates current AI trends into concrete technical and architectural decisions. Topics include system tradeoffs, scaling requirements, and integration with existing production environments. The content targets engineers, architects, and technical decision makers working on deployed AI systems.
The session provides a fast, technically grounded overview of AI system design direction for 2026. The focus stays on practical engineering considerations without promotional messaging or simplified explanations.
Access is exclusive to Pro and VIP Pass holders.
The workshop will take place at Park Hyatt Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi, during the Machine Can Think Summit on January 26 and 27, 2026.
