AI Agents: Friend or Foe?

AI Agents like OpenClaw are autonomous systems that execute real-world digital actions.  They embody a paradigm shift that can deliver transformative productivity gains but also hold huge security risks.  Are Agents already the next paradigm in AI?  What new entrepreneurial opportunities are possible?  Are they ultimately friend or foe?

Join us for a discussion of the key business and scientific issues with cutting edge researchers, a leading Venture Capitalist and executives from the major companies implementing this new paradigm.  There will be Keynote presentations, a panel discussion of experts and plenty of networking afterward.

Please note Forum events now start at 10 am.
