Trustworthy AI in Practice:
Govern it. Secure it. Prove Value

  • 16 October 2025 | 4PM - 5PM BST

Agentic and GenAI projects are stalling for three reasons. Costs keep climbing, business value is unclear, and risk controls are not in place. Gartner forecasts that more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 for exactly these reasons.

This session between Smarttech247 and IBM shows how to deliver trustworthy AI by combining AI security and AI governance. We focus on stopping abuse of AI systems, shrinking the attack surface, building guardrails around prompts, models, agents, and data, and producing evidence leaders trust.
