Hobble your AI agents to prevent them from hurting you too badly
Michael Bargury, CTO of AI security company Zenity, welcomed attendees to the company’s AI Agent Security Summit on Wednesday with an unexpected admission.
“This is a new space and we – frankly – don’t really know what we’re doing,” he said at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club. “But we’re trying … We need to face things as they are. And the only way to do it is together.”
Zenity’s marketing graphic for its AI Agent Security Summit inadvertently made that point by mixing Marvel and DC Comics motifs. The conference graphic read, “The League Assembles,” applying Marvel’s “Avengers, assemble!” catchphrase and font styling to what DC fans might read as a reference to The Justice League.
The brand mashup nonetheless struck an appropriately aspirational tone, even if its evocation of heroism overstates the tech industry’s present capacity to safeguard the public from AI agents. The conference was ostensibly about security, but the presenters focused on risk management – limiting the damage rather than precluding it.
