## Summary

The 103rd TrustML Young Scientist Seminar features Prof. Huaxiu Yao (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) presenting "Building AI Agents That Act, Learn, and Evolve." The talk introduces a full-stack approach to agentic LLMs that overcomes the static-after-deployment limitation of current models, covering Agent World Model (auto-synthesized executable training environments), SkillRL (extracting reusable skills from successes and failures), MetaClaw (learning from natural interactions and idle-time fine-tuning), SimpleMem (lifelong memory via semantic compression across text/image/audio/video), and ClawArena (benchmark for evolving information environments). Held hybrid; open-space attendance restricted to AIP researchers, online attendance is open.
