Agentic AI: Shaping the Future of Responsible and Generative Intelligence Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase defined by systems that can learn, adapt, and collaborate with minimal human input. Agentic AI combines autonomy, generative models, and ethical design to build intelligent systems that act responsibly while learning from their environment. This transformation introduces greater transparency, reliability, and trust into automation. Going beyond conventional AI, Agentic systems reason across complex contexts and make explainable, human-aligned decisions. They merge Large Language Models (LLMs), federated learning, and explainable AI to deliver secure, privacy-preserving intelligence across healthcare, insurance, and enterprise domains. This talk explores practical applications, ethical challenges, and IEEE’s role in advancing trustworthy autonomy for the future. By fostering responsible and generative intelligence, Agentic AI paves the way for a more transparent, adaptive, and human-centric technological ecosystem.

TerraPower was founded to provide state-of-the-art power with Natrium technology, one of the fastest and lowest-cost paths to advanced, zero-carbon energy. The site selected is in southwest Wyoming near the town of Kemerrer. What’s under construction is a sodium test and fill facility for the future plant, the first step of many to come before the nuclear plant will come online in 2030, according to projections. The test and fill facility is a key step in building this novel nuclear plant, a first of its kind in the United States. TerraPower plans to test and prove a first-of-its-kind nuclear cooling system, a process that is expected to take about a year.

Join the IEEE PES/IAS Denver Chapter for our February meeting. Note that this event is at the Original Brooklyn's at 2644 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80204. Schedule 6:00 – Check-in, Chapter Business and Networking 6:30 – Dinner Served 7:00 – Presentation/Networking 8:00 – Adjourn Speaker: Dr. Zongjie Wang Title: Transforming Grid Modernization: Advancing Optimal Dispatch for Resilient and Reliable Grids Summary: How can we ensure reliability and resilience in power systems that are increasingly supported by non-dispatchable resources? What strategies effectively manage uncertainty from resource and demand variability? Can advanced optimization inform broader risk-aware planning beyond real-time operations? In this seminar, Dr. Zongjie Wang will discuss the progressive period optimal power flow (PPOPF), an innovative optimization framework designed to optimize energy dispatch decision-making under uncertainty. While PPOPF traditionally supports reliability and efficiency in transmission grid operations, it can also enhance distribution grid resilience against extreme events. Integrating stochastic optimization and energy modeling, PPOPF supports real-time decision-making, improves restoration strategies, and minimizes power outage risks. In addition, I will also discuss how PPOPF can inform broader interdisciplinary applications, such as proactive vegetation management, system-resilience planning, and stakeholder-focused engagement.

Have you ever wanted to help your community but weren’t sure how? Or maybe you love technology, consider yourself a bit of an introvert, yet still want to meet people who share your interests? Here’s your chance! Join us in helping organize the IEEE Greentech 2026 and Region 5 conference in Boulder, CO, events focused on innovation, collaboration, and sustainability with student competitions and industry engagement. You don’t have to be a university student; we need everyone’s help to create opportunities, build amazing projects, and have fun competing together! Additional information: - Discord coordination channel: (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/discord.gg/fe5pmbVq) - Pop into Discord during the event to engage online.​ - R5 Volunteer information: https://r5conferences.org/attendees/volunteers/ - Greentech 2026 Volunteer information: https://ieeegreentech.org/attendees/volunteers/signup/​ The 2026 IEEE Region 5 Congress, Annual Business Meeting and Student Competitions will be held in Boulder, Colorado March 27 – 29, 2026. On Friday, March 27, there will be a reception from 6 PM onwards. The IEEE Green Technologies (GreenTech) Conference is a premier international event. GreenTech serves as a dynamic platform for practicing engineers, industry leaders, researchers, and students to present cutting-edge work, interact, and explore latest advances in various areas related to the design, analysis, control, and management of the electric power grid, renewable energy systems, inverter-based resources (IBRs), and large-scale electrification. This will also be held in Boulder. For someone new or growing in IEEE, we can point you to concrete entry points, such as volunteering at Region 5 and GreenTech events, joining organizing teams, competing or mentoring in student competitions, or connecting you with local section leaders, so that you can quickly plug into meaningful roles rather than just attending as a passive participant. Speaker(s): Ian, David Agenda: What we’ll cover: - Volunteer roles for the GreenTech 2026(March 27–29, 2026, Boulder, CO) and IEEE Region 5 Congress, Student Competitions - Ways volunteers can gain experience, showcase skills, and connect with companies and professionals - Logistics, A/V, and tech support roles for people who like to build, troubleshoot, and keep things running smoothly Join on Discord or signup before the meeting: - Discord coordination channel: (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/discord.gg/fe5pmbVq)​ - R5 Volunteer information: https://r5conferences.org/attendees/volunteers/ - Greentech 2026 Volunteer information: https://ieeegreentech.org/attendees/volunteers/signup/​ Room: classroom, 700 kalamath st, denver, Colorado, United States, 80204
