AI & Security: Securing the Age of Autonomous AI

Join us in person to explore how to secure autonomous AI and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Join the Association of International Lawyers in the Bay Area (AILBA) for an engaging discussion at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and law, hosted by Orrick in San Francisco.

As AI evolves from systems that generate content to autonomous agents capable of taking actions, accessing sensitive information, and making decisions, the cybersecurity landscape is fundamentally changing.

What happens when an AI agent goes rogue? Who is responsible when autonomous systems cause a security breach? And how can organizations embrace the transformative potential of agentic AI without exposing themselves to unacceptable risks?

Join four industry leaders for a candid, forward-looking conversation exploring the technical, business, and legal challenges of securing the next generation of AI.

  • Jyoti Bansal — CEO & Co-Founder, Harness
  • Nidhi Aggarwal — Chief Product Officer, HackerOne
  • Cal Al-Dhubaib — Principal Technologist, Rubrik
  • Sarah Schaedler — Partner, Global Chair of Technology Transactions, Orrick

What We’ll Discuss

  • The New AI Threat Landscape: How autonomous agents introduce new attack surfaces, vulnerabilities, and security challenges.
  • When AI Agents Go Rogue: Real-world security incidents, prompt injection, agent hijacking, and the risks of granting AI systems access to enterprise infrastructure.
  • Securing the AI Ecosystem: The role of open-source models, platforms such as Hugging Face, and software supply chain security.
  • Legal Liability & Accountability: Who bears responsibility when AI agents cause harm? Exploring contractual liability, regulatory obligations, and emerging legal frameworks.
  • Innovation vs. Security: How businesses can deploy autonomous AI at scale while maintaining appropriate safeguards, human oversight, and accountability.

Expect a dynamic discussion with perspectives from leaders at the forefront of AI innovation, cybersecurity, and technology law, followed by an opportunity to connect with fellow legal professionals.
