Each meetup features a brief talk from an industry voice, followed by a relaxed, meaningful conversation designed to turn connections into collaboration.
This month's featured discussion:
Everybody is thinking about Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is increasingly embedded in our day-to-day lives, often in ways we don’t even realize, and organizations across industries are rapidly deploying AI for critical functions.
But there is a fundamental problem. While AI capabilities have advanced rapidly, trust and control mechanisms have not kept pace. This gap is creating real-world risks - as AI systems and agents drift beyond their intended guardrails.
Recent incidents are beginning to surface. For example, Citigroup lost nearly $900 million due to failures in automated controls, and in the legal system, AI-generated hallucinations have already led to sanctions in the U.S. Federal Court.
This is exactly the problem that Cintara was created to solve.
Based in Northern Virginia, Cintara has developed a new category: the Agentic Trust Control Plane for enterprise AI. Cintara was founded by a former Head of AI at Amazon, who has overseen AI deployments across more than 60,000 organizations
