I conducted a session on Thu, 24 Sep 2026 at [International IT-BPM Summit (IIS) 2026](https://iis.com.ph/) - Function Rooms #1 & #2, 3rd Floor Pearl Wing, Okada Manila, Parañaque City, Philippines.

**Summary**: AI is too weird and fast-moving to trust by intuition alone: question advice, verify with a second model, calibrate confidence, benchmark what matters, and turn surviving evidence into deterministic rules.
