The hidden value of trust: Strategic safeguards for agentic AI success

Building trust to scale agentic AI safely

HotTopics C-suite Exchange in partnership with

CIOs and CISOs are constantly working to keep pace with developments in AI. At the same time, effective leadership sometimes means going slow to go fast.

This requires organisations to evolve their governance structures, strengthen leadership accountability and clarify shared responsibility with platform providers, creating systems that can scale safely and at speed.

This HotTopics C-suite Exchange brings together technology and security leaders to explore the safeguards that allow agentic AI to advance quickly, but not recklessly.

The discussion will explore how leaders can:

  • Build stronger relationships between technology, security and leadership
  • Balance experimentation with effective risk management
  • Develop governance frameworks that support safe adoption at scale
  • Establish shared responsibility with platform providers
  • Maintain board confidence and security integrity as AI adoption accelerates

Join senior peers for an open conversation on the trust, governance and leadership alignment needed to support the safe and successful adoption of agentic AI.
