[Webinar] From Monitoring to Autonomous Operations: Observability in the Age of AI

[Webinar] From Monitoring to Autonomous Operations: Observability in the Age of AI As software systems grow more distributed and AI-driven, knowing what is happening inside them has shifted from a nice-to-have to a necessity. This one-hour IEEE Region 8 Action for Industry (AfI) panel discussion brings together experiences from leading industry professionals and academic researchers to explore how observability has evolved and where it is heading. We start by unpacking what observability really means beyond traces, logs, and metrics, and how it differs from traditional monitoring. Through live demos, we follow Dynatrace's journey from application performance monitoring to AIOps and autonomous operations, and show how LLMs are making observability agentic. We then turn the lens around to monitoring AI applications themselves, which are "just" applications with less predictable outputs. The session closes with the regulatory landscape for AI and what organisations need to comply with.
