About This Event

As AI agents take on more responsibility, how can enterprises keep them within scope, compliant, and reliable?

Join AI Realized at SF Tech Week for a practical discussion of how to detect unauthorized behavior, govern interactions among agent systems, and keep autonomous work within resource limits. We'll explore how to verify what agents are doing, recognize declining accuracy, and decide when to intervene, reset, or stop an agent while protecting essential operations.

Our goal is to help leaders connect governance policies to operating controls: defining where agents have autonomy, what evidence demonstrates compliance, and who acts when something goes wrong.

Executives leading agentic initiatives and governance join the panel. Startups will present their in-market solutions for the governance, security, and operational management of agent systems.

This event is for C-level, VP and Director leaders responsible for AI systems in production, plus the governance, security, data, risk and operations leaders accountable for how those systems behave. Investors are welcome.
