AI is changing how work gets done, how decisions are made, and where risk shows up. The opportunity is real. The challenge is moving forward without putting sensitive data, day-to-day operations, or accountability at risk.
Join Tusker for an interactive morning designed for technology, security, finance, and business leaders working through these questions now.
We’ll start with a candid, panel-style, conversation about how organizations are adopting AI while managing risk, protecting the business, and preparing for what could go wrong. This session brings an advisory perspective to one of the most urgent new risk areas facing executive teams.
Then we’ll put those ideas to the test.
Working alongside your peers, you’ll step into a realistic scenario where an AI agent goes off script. Together, you’ll face decisions around sensitive data, business disruption, accountability, containment, and recovery—the kinds of decisions that are much easier to make before an incident happens.
After the program, join us for a complimentary lunch at Gibsons and continue the conversation with leaders from across Chicagoland.
What You’ll Take Away
<ul><li>A clearer view of how AI is changing business and cyber risk</li><li>Practical ways to protect sensitive data and manage AI access</li><li>Approaches to setting guardrails without bringing innovation to a halt</li><li>A better understanding of who owns the decision when AI goes off script</li><li>Lessons for containing an AI-related incident and keeping the business moving</li><li>Practical next steps to strengthen your organization’s resilience</li></ul>

Xfinity is celebrating the return of everyone’s favorite Halloween monster: Frankenstein, who now goes by “Frank.” Freshly back from the dead, Frank is host of the new “Everyday Scaries with Frank” podcast, where he’s navigating the same everyday scaries that haunt us all: dating, deadlines, and group chats that go quiet. But, he’s quickly learned that nothing is scarier than a WiFi dead zone.
Guests will make their way through fun, immersive, interactive experiences.
Free to enter.&nbsp;Register <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYEkL-0qeDYpfZqJKl9a5Sbj44KXsqDdm3nPiphaIH9OhyTw/viewform" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.&nbsp;
