Building Trust in AI: Securing Your Business for the Future
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to everyday business operations. Employees are using AI assistants, organisations are automating workflows, and autonomous agents are beginning to make decisions, access data, and perform tasks on behalf of humans.

About this event
As AI adoption accelerates, a critical question emerges:
Can your organisation trust its AI?
In this interactive keynote and workshop experience from Pax8, we explore what it takes to build a secure foundation for AI at scale. We'll examine the challenges surrounding data protection, identity management, governance, human oversight, and operational resilience in an increasingly autonomous world.
Through real-world scenarios, group discussions, and practical problem-solving exercises, participants will put themselves in the role of an AI governance team, making the decisions that determine whether AI becomes a business advantage or a business risk.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of:
The security and governance foundations required for successful AI adoption
How to protect data, identities, and critical business processes in AI-enabled environments
The unique risks introduced by autonomous agents and non-human identities
Practical approaches to balancing innovation, productivity, and security
A framework for building trust, accountability, and oversight into AI initiatives from day one
This is not a session about fear, hype, or future predictions. It's about the practical actions organisations must take today to ensure AI adoption remains secure, scalable, and trusted tomorrow.
This event supports the UK government–industry AI Skills Boost programme, which aims to equip 10 million people with essential AI capabilities by 2030. techUK and Salesforce are both a part of the government and industry-led AI Skills Partnership.
