AI on Draught: AI Crisis Response
We are bringing together a curated group of 30 leaders, founders, and innovators shaping how organisations prepare for, and respond to, AI systems going wrong – whether building, deploying, or advising on the safeguards that catch failure before it spreads.
Think discussions focused on the real challenges of AI safety and risk:
What actually happens in the first 24 hours when an AI system fails or causes harm – who gets called, and who decides what to do;
Building a crisis plan before you need one: escalation paths, decision rights, and who owns the comms line;
Where liability actually sits when an AI agent makes the mistake – vendor, deployer, or end user;
Reputational fallout: what to say, and not say, when your AI is the story;
Lessons from real AI incidents – hallucinations, agent misfires, biased outputs – and what changed afterwards;
Format
We're creating a unique networking experience. You will answer key questions for us to personally match you with other guests we think you should meet, ensuring your time is spent on meaningful, pre-mapped conversations with the right people in the room.
Please note that only those who provide relevant information will have their applications approved.
