Agentic 101 in DC
Next week, Adrianna Tan will be in Washington, DC, to speak at Agentic 101, organized by Mass Open.
The event brings together enterprise practitioners for practical talks and demonstrations on deploying agentic AI. Speakers will explore safety, security, governance, compliance, and other considerations for organizations adopting these systems.
Adrianna’s talk, “Red-Teaming for Agentic Safety and Security,” will examine how agentic AI changes the way we test and evaluate AI systems. She will discuss how red-teaming practices must evolve to address new attack surfaces, and provide actionable ideas for how enterprise teams can ground this work in emerging industry standards.
