AI That Survives Contact

With the Enterprise

An evening of candid conversation for the technology and security leaders making AI work inside real organisations, not alongside them.

📅 Thursday 15 October 2026

📍 Bob Bob Ricard Soho

1 Upper James Street, Soho, London W1F 9DF

🕔 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM

The Discussion

Every enterprise has a pilot that worked beautifully in isolation.

Then it meets the estate. The core platform nobody wants to touch. The data spread across eleven systems with no clear owner. An identity model that was never designed for software making its own decisions. The distance between a demonstration that impressed the board and something the business can depend on every day turns out to be most of the work.

This gathering brings senior technology and security leaders together to talk openly about that distance. What it actually takes to run AI against systems built decades before anyone imagined it. Where the effort lands, who owns the risk, and what the people who have done it would do differently.

Held under the Chatham House Rule, with no presentations and no pitch. Peers, a good room and an honest conversation.

Themes on the Agenda

Building on what you cannot replace

Making AI useful against legacy platforms, and deciding what genuinely needs modernising first.

The data problem nobody budgeted for

Ownership, quality and access when models want everything and governance says otherwise.

Identity and accountability for software that acts

Credentials, permissions and blame when an agent reaches into production on its own.

From impressive to dependable

The engineering, testing and operational discipline that turns a working prototype into a service the business trusts.

What it costs to keep running

Where the run cost lands a year in, who carries it, and how leaders are re-cutting budgets in response.
