Human in the AI Loop brings together builders, governors, and guardians of AI for an evening exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way technology is built, governed, and deployed. Scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2026, from 5 to 8 in the evening at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, the event is co-organised by OPEN Silicon Valley and the ISACA San Francisco Chapter, pairing an entrepreneurship-focused organisation with a professional association centered on governance, risk, and cybersecurity, giving the event a distinct focus on the intersection between AI innovation and responsible oversight.
The programme opens with a keynote fireside chat offering a candid conversation on what the rise of AI capabilities means for cybersecurity leaders, addressing a concern that has grown increasingly urgent as AI systems become more deeply embedded within enterprise infrastructure and, correspondingly, more attractive as a target or vector for security threats. The event then moves into a segment on building, examining how industry-leading platforms are putting AI into production, offering attendees a grounded look at real deployment challenges rather than purely conceptual discussion of AI capabilities.
A further segment focused on governing addresses the challenge of balancing responsible AI development with innovation at scale, a tension that has become central to how major technology companies approach AI deployment given the growing regulatory and reputational stakes attached to AI systems operating at scale. The programme closes with a segment on impact, examining where AI is delivering real, measurable value, grounding the event’s broader discussion in concrete outcomes rather than speculative potential alone.
The event features speakers and leaders from Oracle, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Waymo, eBay, Docusign, Palo Alto Networks, and Salesforce, a lineup spanning enterprise software, semiconductor technology, autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, and customer relationship management, giving attendees exposure to how AI deployment and governance challenges manifest differently across a wide range of technology sectors. This breadth of participating companies reflects the event’s ambition to address AI’s impact as a cross-industry phenomenon rather than a concern specific to any single technology vertical. Interested attendees can RSVP for the event, with seats described as limited given the venue’s capacity at Foothill College, located at 12345 El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills, California.
