Agents You Can Verify - Infrastructure and standards for sovereign enterprise AI

There is a buzz in the air around open AI standards vs frontier models for enterprises. Many enterprises are moving their most sensitive data into AI systems that span multiple models, tools, agents, and partners. “Sovereign AI” has come to mean more than where the model runs. It means knowing what informed an answer, who authorized the use, and what happened to the information afterward — and being able to prove it to a customer, a regulator, an insurer, or even a court. This evening brings together four people building the layers of that stack, from 2 frontier labs, one considered the leader in open-weight ecosystems & the other the agentic benchmark, an open-source agent platform, and a standards developer & secure data auditor. Each talk picks up where the last one leaves off:

Saurya Velagapudi — Principal Engineer, openhands.dev - presents

Vasanth Chandra - Enterprise AI Products - Risk and Safety, META Platforms - presents: "When the Actor Isn't a Person - A defense-in-depth framework for Agent governance and assurance."

Ben Curtis — CTO, JLINC & Protocol Developer - presents: "Establishing Trust By Not Trusting - As observability becomes the norm, control over who can observe and audit your private data is more important than ever. How do we do that in a zero-knowledge enterprise environment?"

Bradley Taylor — AI Architect, Anthropic - presents: "A Receipt For Every AI Result -building enterprise AI sovereignty you can verify."

The talks are followed by a panel with all four speakers and open Q&A.
