AI in the Real World: Where It Works and Where It Breaks

The stakes go up when AI leaves the sandbox Presented by BDev Ventures and Haynes Boone. AI has moved from pilots to production, on screens and off them. In software, it's writing code and making decisions inside companies every day. In the physical world, it's driving robotaxis and moving inventory through warehouses. Both raise questions most teams haven't had to answer before. Who owns what the model produces? Who's liable when it makes the wrong call, whether that's a hiring decision or a lane change? And which rules apply while regulators catch up? We're bringing experts together to share what they're seeing firsthand: where AI is already working, where it's creating new risks, and what to get right before you ship.
