How Kepler Built Verifiable AI for Financial Services — Vinoo Ganesh

Vinoo Ganesh, CEO of Kepler, discusses building verifiable AI for financial services. He argues that while LLMs are powerful probability machines, they are unreliable for deterministic financial tasks. Kepler's solution involves a deterministic substrate that wraps AI, based on three tenets: atomic provenance (AI references, not creates, numbers), scope determinism (AI decides what to compute, but deterministic tools perform the math), and derivation chains (traceable calculation paths for derived figures). This ensures numerical accuracy, verifiability, and traceability, moving beyond simple citations to true proof of work.

Why Your Agent Disagrees With Itself (And What To Do About It) - Diane Lin, Datadog

This session addresses the critical problem of AI agent inconsistency, particularly in LLMs, which leads to "flip-flops" in high-stakes domains like cybersecurity. It argues that this isn't a model failure but a signal of ambiguity in the "gray zone" near decision boundaries. The proposed solution involves using active learning to identify these ambiguous cases, followed by augmenting agents with semantic memory (explicit policies) and episodic memory (past similar cases) to clarify decisions, improve consistency, and adapt to customer-specific preferences without relying solely on expensive fine-tuning.
