Al Agent Security Documentary Premiere - NYC

This is exclusively invited event, please apply to attend on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026062315) REQUIRED for admission. The event is designed for Senior AI Developers and Tech Leaders, such as CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security. **THE DOCUMENTARY** Before this documentary is released to the world, we are bringing together a select group of senior AI leaders in New York for an exclusive premiere screening. AI agents are being deployed faster than they are being secured. 88% of organisations have already experienced a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident — yet only 14% have full security approval for their agent fleet. This documentary confronts that gap head on. Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz — founder of Big Technology, the film brings together four of the most important voices on AI agent security working today. * Ramesh Raskar , MIT Associate Professor — what makes AI agents uniquely dangerous and what the speed of deployment actually means for security. * Theresa Payton , former White House Chief Information Officer — why this is not just an enterprise risk problem and what the broader stakes are. * Sharon Gai , ex Alibaba - what innovation is happening in enterprises and scale ups. * Rory Blundell CEO of Gravitee — what organisations can actually do about it right now. All captured by an Emmy award winning director. **The EVENT** This is an invite-only evening in New York. A red carpet champagne reception, a private screening of the documentary, a Q&A, and a conversation worth having. The decisions being made about AI agent security right now will matter for years. **WHO SHOULD ATTEND:** CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security. **AGENDA:** * 6:00 Red carpet champagne reception * 7:00 Screening (25 minutes) * 7:25 Q&A (30 minutes) * 7:55 Networking * 9:00 Closing **Q&A SPEAKERS:** Lessons From The Documentary Q&A - Alex Kantrowitz and Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee The process of making this film took Alex & Rory deep into the AI agent security conversation — across disciplines, industries, and perspectives. They share what they found and what it means for the decisions organizations are making right now.
