What does it mean to design AI with humanity at its core? Jess Von Bank—futurist, HR transformation leader, and president of Diverse Daisies—joins The AI Forecast to discuss. With host Paul Muller, the two explore how AI is reshaping the workforce and our very sense of what it means to be human. From AI-driven recruiting and workforce redesign to the mental health crisis and the erosion of human connection, Jess challenges leaders to slow down, think deeply, and build technology that serves people—not replaces them.

Join Jay Kreps, Confluent leadership, our customers, and industry thought leaders to learn how you can build intelligent systems with real-time data.

Streaming Agents enable you to build, deploy, and orchestrate event-driven agents on Apache Flink and Apache Kafka. Embedded in the stream, they can tap into the latest enriched data and be the eyes and ears of a business, continuously monitoring and acting on live operational events. In this demo, Brenner Heintz, Staff Technical Marketing Manager at Confluent, shows how to build price matching agents, do vector search for retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and leverage Confluent’s Real-Time Context Engine to process and serve fresh context the moment it’s needed for AI decision-making.
