Gradient Gatherings - Trust, AI Agents, and Us

Three speakers will tackle trust in AI agents from scientific, possibility, and governance angles, then the room opens up for proper conversation. You'll hear what makes today's AI systems powerful and how they can fail, what new kinds of work become possible when you delegate to machines, and whether our existing legal and cultural safeguards are ready for this shift. The setup is deliberately conversational rather than lecture-style, so expect the speakers to prompt rather than dominate. Light refreshments kick things off, then the session runs structured but interactive. This is the first in a new series, so you're helping shape what these gatherings become.
