Where There's Smoke:
An Evening At The Clayton
July 21st | 5:30PM - 9:00PM CST
Where there's smoke, there's exposure.
PE and legal firms are deploying AI now. Exposure is outpacing governance.
The data at risk isn't generic enterprise data, however. It's deal structures, client privilege, fund strategy, LP relationships, and matter files. Information with a shelf life measured in decades, now being fed into AI systems built with no concept of what it's worth or who shouldn't have it.
74% of organizations plan to deploy agentic AI while only 21% have mature oversight programs in place. That gap isn't a compliance problem. It's a liability problem, a competitive problem, and for firms in these industries, potentially an existential one.
We're bringing together a small group of senior leaders for a conversation most firms don't have in the open: what breaks when you get this wrong, the quantum risk hiding in your data, and what separates the firms managing it from those pretending it's not their problem yet.
