Accountable AI: Governing Autonomous Agents in Production
As AI agents move from demos to production, a new question emerges: who's accountable when an autonomous system takes action?
Accountable AI is a San Francisco gathering for engineers, founders, and policy thinkers working on the frontier of AI agent governance. We're bringing together the people building the infrastructure that makes autonomous AI systems safe, auditable, and trustworthy at scale.
Join us for an afternoon of panel debate, live demos, and a curated Tesla experience:
Policy enforcement for AI agents - how to evaluate, approve, and block agent actions in real time
Tamper-evident audit trails - cryptographic proof of what your agents did, when, and why
Agent identity and attestation - verifiable identities for autonomous systems
Guardrails that work in production - PII detection, prompt injection defense, toxicity filtering
The compliance landscape - EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and what's coming next
Whether you're shipping AI agents today or planning to, this is the room where the people building the guardrails compare notes. Come see live demos of runtime AI governance - then stick around for food, drinks, and Tesla test drive experience.
Who Should Attend
AI/ML engineers building agentic systems
Founders and product leaders shipping AI-powered products
Security and compliance professionals responsible for AI systems
Policy researchers and regulators working on AI governance frameworks
Platform engineers building AI infrastructure
