报告摘要：

This talk investigates three important questions in agent research and development: how to build effective agents, how to endow them with advanced agentic capabilities—such as memory, knowledge digitization, reasoning, higher order thinking skills and general problem solving skills, and finally how to automate the construction and development of such agentic systems.

To avoid the talk to be overly abstract, we use concrete applications in cybersecurity space to demonstrate how to automate cybersecurity expertise across the software development lifecycle, including vulnerability detection, diagnosis, proof-of-concept generation, and automated repair. The adoptability of this research could be applied to many other domains like vibe coding, medical analysis, material science and eventually auto-research.

Finally, we discuss an interdisciplinary path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, social sciences, and computer science to develop AI systems that are intelligent, agentic, and aligned with human values.

报告人简介：

Dr. Liu Yang is currently a full professor in Nanyang Technological University, Executive Director of Cyber Security Research Centre @ NTU, and Executive Director of CyberSG R&D Programme Office (CRPO). In 2019, he received the University Leadership Forum Chair professorship at NTU, the President's Chair in 2024.

Dr. Liu specializes in software engineering, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. His research has bridged the gap between the theory and practical usage of program analysis, data analysis and AI to evaluate the design and implementation of software for high assurance and security. Many of his research has been successfully commercialized. By now, he has more than 700 publications in top tier conferences and journals, and 30 best paper awards and one most influence system award in top software engineering conferences. He is also leading several major research centers and programs including Cysren, CRPO, Trustworthy AI in NTU (TAICeN) and CREATE center with ICL on medical device security. He has received a number of prestigious awards including MSRA Fellowship, TRF Fellowship, Nanyang Assistant Professor, Tan Chin Tuan Fellowship, Nanyang Research Award, ACM Distinguished Speaker, NRF Investigatorship and NTU Innovator (Entrepreneurship) Award.
