Mohamed Mortadha Manai
I’m Mortadha Manai, a Senior AI Engineer at Netflix, PhD Candidate in Explainable AI (xAI) at Saint Mary’s University and INSAT. I’m also an AI Expert Reviewer at Packt Publishing and an International AI Speaker (Linkedin AI Speaker Top Voice) passionate about bridging the gap between research and real-world AI systems.
What excites me most about the cloud is its power to democratize AI; enabling scalable, accessible, and explainable intelligence across industries. I love exploring how cloud-native AI systems can enhance collaboration, accelerate innovation, and bring transparency to intelligent automation.
Sessions
In this session, I’ll take participants on a hands-on journey into agentic AI, showing how to build autonomous, decision-making AI workflows on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. Using live Python code examples, we’ll integrate explainable AI (xAI) techniques to ensure transparency and trust while deploying AI agents that can reason, plan, and act in real time. Attendees will learn how to design scalable, cloud-powered AI pipelines, leverage predictive models, and implement RAG-based knowledge retrieval in practice. This technical session equips developers to create robust, explainable, and actionable AI systems ready for real-world impact.
