The AI Liability Era: CISOs and Legal Experts on What Comes Next
With insights from CISOs, lawyers, and operators on how to build, ship, and scale AI systems that are secure, compliant, and fundable.
If you are building, deploying, or funding AI, this is required knowledge. AI is moving faster than policy, and companies are already getting exposed. What used to be a product decision is now a security, legal, and board-level risk conversation. This session brings together the people who actually carry that risk inside organizations, CISOs, legal leaders, and operators who have to answer for what gets shipped. If you are building AI products, investing in them, or responsible for governance, this conversation will change how you think about what “ready” really means.
What you will walk away with
• The real risks CISOs are seeing in AI systems today
• Where legal liability is emerging and how it is being interpreted right now
• What defensible AI looks like in practice across security, privacy, and compliance
• The minimum controls and documentation teams need before shipping
• How compliance and governance impact funding, procurement, and enterprise adoption
Why this matters right now
We are entering a phase where AI products are evaluated not just on performance, but on risk exposure. If your system cannot withstand audit, procurement review, or legal scrutiny, it will not scale and it will not get funded. This session is about building AI that survives real-world scrutiny.

• Security and compliance professionals

This is not theoretical. This is how AI gets approved, funded, and deployed in the real world. If you are serious about building in this space, you want to be in this room.
