Agentic Development Security | Manoj Nair, Snyk | RAISE Summit 2026
Presenting critical findings on the surge of security risks in AI-driven development, this analysis reveals a 108% increase in vulnerabilities linked to agentic workflows and highlights that current frontier models still produce only 60% secure code autonomously. With threat actors already executing attacks within weeks and open models projected to match proprietary capabilities in six months, the session outlines a strategic blueprint requiring independent validation, pre-build context integration, and the eradication of technical debt before scaling adoption. Urging organizations to shift from fragile remediation to resilient, load-bearing architectures, the discussion emphasizes immediate board-level action to secure supply chains and comply with upcoming regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act.

Fireside Chat with Yann LeCun, Executive Chairman of AMI Labs | RAISE Summit 2026
Yann LeCun, Tom Mackenzie, Chet Haase, Francois Beaufort, Romain Guyett
Yann LeCun founded AMI Labs to develop JEPA-based World Models that overcome the physical reasoning limitations of current Large Language Models by predicting abstract states rather than discrete tokens. This strategic departure from Meta, driven by incompatible visions for Artificial General Intelligence and business focus, positions the Paris-based entity to lead global industrial applications like Level 5 autonomy and domestic robotics. To ensure geopolitical neutrality and preserve data sovereignty, LeCun is also spearheading Project Tapestry, a distributed initiative aggregating parameters from diverse international contributors without requiring raw data sharing.

The Physics of Thought & Architecture of Intelligence | Amin Vahdat, Google | RAISE Summit 2026
The speaker characterizes the current epoch as the dawn of an "intelligence era" where unbounded human ambition and the Jevons Paradox will drive exponential demand for cognitive computing power, surpassing the historical pace of the Industrial Revolution. To meet this surging need, Google is leveraging specialized hardware like the eighth-generation TPU and adopting a relaxed reliability model to enable agentic computing swarms that coordinate autonomous tasks at unprecedented scale. This technological shift is already accelerating scientific breakthroughs, such as rapid protein folding prediction, while necessitating responsible management of the economic turbulence inherent in this transition.
