Agents You Can Trust : A COLM Happy Hour

Hear from AI leaders at Google, Meta, Salesforce, Glean, and more on what it actually takes to deploy AI agents safely in production.

Join Vinay Rao, VP at Google, for a fireside chat with Anish Das Sarma, CEO of Reinforce Labs, followed by a panel featuring:

• Nilou Salehi | Professor, UC Berkeley & CEO, Across AI

• Panagiotis Papadimitriou | Trust & Safety, Meta

• Nilesh Dalvi | Engineering Leader, Glean

• Manjeet Singh | Sr. Director, Agentforce AI, Salesforce

• Moderated by Prasanna Desikan | Head of Healthcare AI, Centific

AI agents can look impressive in demos. Deploying them into real products, where they interact with users, data, and tools, is a much harder problem.

As agent capabilities increase, teams are grappling with a new set of questions: How do you evaluate behavior before deployment? What guardrails actually work in production? Where should accountability sit when an agent takes an unexpected action? And what does it take to earn user trust?

During COLM week, Centific and Reinforce Labs are bringing together researchers, builders, and product leaders for a candid conversation about the practical challenges of deploying agentic AI responsibly.

We’ll discuss agent evaluations, red teaming, guardrails, production safety, accountability, and user trust, with perspectives from teams building and deploying AI at scale.

Come for the speakers. Stay for the conversation.
