Abstract Title: Architecting the AI-Native Era: Unifying Software Design, Intelligent Models, and Cloud Ecosystems Abstract:The rapid shift from traditional software paradigms to AI-native systems necessitates a fundamental unification of software design, artificial intelligence, and cloud-native infrastructure. Modern AI models can reason in ways never seen before, but using them inside an enterprise environment comes with critical challenges, such as non-deterministic execution paths, severe memory spikes when scaling context, and unpredictable compute demands. This presentation describes an architectural blueprint to bridge these converging domains. We discuss how multi-agent workflows should be combined with good AI/ML engineering practices and intelligent software design patterns such as event-driven microservices and semantic routing. Furthermore, we also discuss how cloud-native technologies like adaptive Kubernetes orchestration and serverless execution can be used to build resilient, self-healing and cost-effective infrastructures. This talk provides researchers and engineers with a holistic framework to build the next generation of reliable, enterprise-grade AI-native software ecosystems by unifying intelligent modeling with scalable cloud design
