Governance, authority, and accountability

Autonomous systems now execute transactions, deploy code, ship products, and make operational decisions between board meetings. Directors, executives, investors, insurers, AI labs, and technology leaders will examine the architectures, incidents, controls, and standards behind those decisions.

  • Deployment exposure

    Identify where autonomous systems act and which decisions they make.

  • Participants

    Work with the people governing, building, funding, and insuring deployment.

  • Board priorities

    Set board and committee priorities against current technical practice.

No vendor pitches and no staged panels. Sessions run under the Chatham House Rule and focus on decisions you can take into your next board or committee meeting.
