Happy Hour Discussion Panel: AI Safety and Security with Rick Grinnell and Ra'ad Siraj
Abstract
Enjoy a panel with Ra'ad Siraj and Glasswing co-founder Rick Grinnell.
Today's sessions covered the building blocks: provenance, retrieval, MCP, guardrails, red-teaming and agent networks. This closing discussion asks what happens when those pieces meet the real world. Once agents call tools, share context and talk to other agents across organizations, questions of control get harder. Whose rules apply, who's accountable when something goes wrong, and what does "sovereign" mean when your agent depends on models, data and servers you don't own? Bring a drink and your questions.
