How to Validate and Control AI Uncertainty from BOB or Any LLM for Reliable Business Outcomes
Wednesday April 29, 2026 9:15am - 10:15am CDT
Galerie 6
Evaluation Survey
Artificial Intelligence, by nature, is probabilistic. Even in narrow tolerance bands, AI models can generate varying results for the same inputs — not due to bugs, but because of the statistical nature of learning. While this flexibility allows AI to deal with complex problems, it also introduces uncertainty — a dangerous liability in high-stakes business contexts. In using Project BOB or any LLM to modernize or transform code you can get mistakes, bugs or hallucinations in the new code, and sometimes those errors can be very tricky to be identified and corrected, it could be like looking for a needle in a haystack. In this session, we will see which methodologies to adopt to master these problems, to control any AI mistakes and also to influence and guide AI to fix and avoid them.

Learning Objectives:

For project managers and programmers this session will show what framework to settle and which methodologies to adopt in order to optimize quality outcomes and reliability from LLM, especially in a code-assistant and code-generator business perimeter.

While building IBM i source into native objects is covered in detail there is very little information about the last mile, securely deploying your compiled objects to remote systems while managing the specific requirements of the Ibm i. Having implemented object deployment on the IBM i for 25 years and now integrating with open source tools for 10 I can share my experience in how we can use the open source tools you are using for your front end to synchronize deployment of changes on your backend. This is a practical explanation on how this can be accomplished with IBM supported open source tools that allow you to bring more automation to your Application Life Cycle management. This DevSecOps automation provides significant ROI on the effort to successfully integrate your front end and back end.

Evaluation Survey
BM i network communications has changed a lot since the AS/400 primarily communicated to workstations and printers using Twinax and to other computer systems using specialized communications lines. In some ways things are more complex because our IBM i nodes communicate to a lot of other devices in many different ways, but in other ways things are simpler today because nearly all network communications are built on top of the foundation of Ethernet and TCP/IP. Your IBM i Networking health is very important and is how most of your data and applications are accessed. Your IBM i may be fully up and running, but if network issues prevent business units from utilizing these applications and data the IBM i will be perceived as being down. This session will take a look at approaches to monitoring this IBM i OS Networking health and it's interaction with the network, how to collection diagnostic data and how to troubleshoot problems.

Learning Objectives:

Build tools in your IT toolbox to troubleshoot network communications issues involving IBM i.
