      Expert-First: Anchoring Agents in Subject Matter Knowledge

      As AI agents become more prevalent across industries, ensuring they operate with the depth and accuracy of true subject matter expertise is becoming increasingly important. An expert-first approach focuses on anchoring AI agents in structured domain knowledge, expert insights, and reliable information sources rather than relying solely on generalized model outputs. This session will explore why grounding AI agents in subject matter knowledge is essential for building trustworthy and effective AI systems. It will discuss the role of expert input, curated knowledge sources, and contextual understanding in enabling agents to deliver more accurate, relevant, and meaningful outcomes. The session will also highlight how organizations can design AI solutions that combine the power of large language models with domain expertise to create more reliable and impactful AI-driven experiences.
