As AI models grow more capable, the real opportunity shifts to the hard problems — the big, messy, tangled challenges of the physical and social world. That, after all, is the engineer's true job: to solve problems. But our current paradigm leans on fixed harnesses - predetermined structures imposed on the problem. In a world of complex, shifting systems, that rigidity becomes a liability. We need harnesses that adapt in real time, the way a great leader reads and responds to a changing team. This is adaptive engineering, and it is where the next frontier lies. This talk traces the limits of today's engineering paradigm, draws on complexity science to examine how complex systems behave in the natural and social world, and explores the philosophy and practice of adaptive engineering as what comes next. Speakers: Rajiv Chandegra (Annicha Labs): Rajiv is a practicing medical doctor and director of Annicha Labs - a firm dedicated to exploring the application of technology for complex challenges in the real world.
