Coming In from the Cold: Espionage in Today's Geopolitics | Global Conference 2025
Simon Radford, Darrell Blocker, Anthony Camerino, Christo Grozev, Katherine Mulhern, Jill Popelka, Nick Schifrin, Alyssa
A panel of intelligence experts and security leaders detailed Russia's structural advantage in leveraging privatized, competitive state violence, contrasting this with Western reliance on defensive measures and open-source investigations to counteract such malign operations. The discussion highlighted how adversaries exploit digital footprints, social engineering, and internal employee threats to compromise corporate executives, necessitating a dual security strategy that combines attack-centric defenses with business-centric anomaly detection. Furthermore, the speakers advocated for closing Western financial loopholes to halt illicit capital flows from Africa and Asia, arguing that recovering these stolen assets offers a sustainable alternative to foreign aid for stabilizing global economies.

The Future of Software Creation with Replit CEO Amjad Masad
Amjad Masad, Chinat, Shivam, Sophia, Emma
Replit outlines a strategic pivot toward making software engineering obsolete by developing autonomous agents that operate within a robust, sandboxed cloud infrastructure capable of end-to-end testing and self-healing. This transition aims to shift software value from expensive SaaS applications to near-zero-cost, prompt-driven creation, enabling individuals to act as sovereign entities that assemble teams and deploy full-stack solutions instantly. By achieving near-full autonomy in the next agent generation, the platform intends to dismantle traditional corporate hierarchies in favor of on-demand, mission-based networks where human creativity complements agent-driven execution.

Are British spies ready for future global threats?
Rosie Blau, Shashank Joshi, Rosie Bloor
Outgoing MI6 Chief Richard Moore has identified China as the primary global security threat, directing the agency's expanding mandate toward countering Russian sabotage and Iranian nuclear proliferation alongside emerging technological risks. On October 1st, Blaise Matuloli assumes leadership as the service's youngest and first post-Cold War chief, leveraging her operational background in counter-subversion to navigate a complex landscape where traditional agent recruitment is increasingly hindered by digital surveillance. Facing a finite budget against limitless strategic demands, Matuloli must balance covert intelligence collection with active disruption operations while integrating human and technical capabilities through the newly formalized National Cyber Force.

Amit Zavery & Scott Thomas: Pace vs Panic. Governance vs Chaos. How Companies Can Survive the AI Era
ServiceNow addresses the critical tension between accelerating AI adoption and maintaining rigorous governance by launching an AI Control Tower to track and manage autonomous agents within a centralized asset framework. Parallel to this, the company evolved its acquisition strategy to target deep-domain leaders like Logic.ai, integrating their specialized IP to solve complex orchestration problems while demonstrating that internal AI deployment can generate substantial value without reducing headcount. By generating $325 million in value through a hybrid human-digital workforce and achieving high call deflection rates, ServiceNow positions its "no-layoff" approach as a counter-narrative to industry trends driven by fear and cost-cutting.
