In this keynote, Bryan McCann, CTO of You.com, explores what the next generation of agentic infrastructure looks like and why it must remain open to drive innovation. Bryan breaks down the growing tension between open ecosystems and walled gardens, highlighting how businesses risk becoming mere data providers to dominant platforms without open, interoperable systems. He also shares how the MLOps World community can help shape a foundation layer that empowers sophisticated AI applications — without vendor lock-in. What you’ll learn: • Why existing web infrastructure limits AI innovation • What “agentic infrastructure” really means and how it’s being built • How open ecosystems can prevent platform monopolies in the AI era • The role of MLOps professionals in enabling scalable, agentic systems • Why openness is key to sustainable, long-term AI development.
