Austin AI Developers Group

This is exclusively invited event, please apply to attend on the event website REQUIRED for admission.

The event is designed for Senior AI Developers and Tech Leaders, such as CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security.

THE DOCUMENTARY
Before this documentary is released to the world, we are bringing together a select group of senior AI leaders for an exclusive premiere screening.

AI agents are being deployed faster than they are being secured. 88% of organisations have already experienced a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident — yet only 14% have full security approval for their agent fleet. This documentary confronts that gap head on.
Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz — founder of Big Technology, the film brings together four of the most important voices on AI agent security working today.

• Ramesh Raskar , MIT Associate Professor — what makes AI agents uniquely dangerous and what the speed of deployment actually means for security.
• Theresa Payton , former White House Chief Information Officer — why this is not just an enterprise risk problem and what the broader stakes are.
• Sharon Gai , ex Alibaba - what innovation is happening in enterprises and scale ups.
• Rory Blundell , CEO of Gravitee — what organisations can actually do about it right now.

All captured by an Emmy award winning director.
