Virtue AI has announced the speaker lineup for CTRL+AI, its inaugural conference dedicated to AI Trust, Risk, and Leadership. Scheduled for June 4, 2026, at The Presidio in San Francisco, the event focuses on the security challenges of the "Agentic Era"—a phase where AI systems move beyond text generation to taking autonomous actions across enterprise systems.
Date & Location: June 4, 2026 | 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. | The Presidio, San Francisco.
The Theme: Moving beyond experimentation to the operational realities of securing autonomous AI agents.
Key Topics: AI agent security, runtime governance, automated red-teaming, multimodal guardrails, and privacy.
Academic & Industry Intersection: The event features founders and researchers from Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UIUC alongside C-suite leaders from major tech and finance firms.
The conference bridges the gap between frontier AI research and enterprise security. Notable speakers include:
Sandeep Pombra, Principal Architect at NVIDIA
Leon Bian, VP of Product, AI & Data Security at Capital One
Ravi Krishnamurthy, VP of Product for AI Foundations at ServiceNow
Sunil Agrawal, CISO at Glean
Seth Spiel, Head of Product (Security AI) at Splunk
Virtue AI Founders: Including Bo Li (CEO), Dawn Song, Carlos Guestrin, and Sanmi Koyejo.
As AI agents gain the ability to retrieve sensitive data and execute workflows in production, traditional security infrastructure is proving insufficient. Virtue AI’s CEO, Bo Li, describes this as a critical moment for the industry: "The industry needs deeper conversations around how these systems are secured, governed, evaluated, and monitored in production."
The sessions at CTRL+AI are designed to address the specific "infrastructure of trust" required to operationalize these systems. This includes real-world challenges in compliance, runtime protection, and the systematic governance needed to maintain visibility as AI autonomy increases.
Virtue AI is an AI-native security platform built on award-winning research. It provides a unified architecture for automated red-teaming, multimodal guardrails, and runtime protection for enterprise models and agents. By combining academic rigor with enterprise expertise, Virtue AI helps organizations scale AI safely while maintaining total control across the AI lifecycle.
