Confidential Computing Summit 2026: Full Schedule

We are 2–5 years from a world where software stops shipping security bugs, because every CI/CD pipeline runs a Mythos-class model. That is the permanent defender advantage. The whole thesis rests on a single artifact: the weights of that model. If those weights leak, the advantage inverts overnight. If access to them can't be relied upon, the world routes around us to open weights. Confidential computing is the control that protects the control.

Keynote: Privacy at the Hardware Level: Why the Stack Has to Change Before the Rules Can - Brittany Kaiser, CEO, Alpha Compute

Wednesday June 24, 2026 10:00am - 10:20am PDT

Courtyard

Regulation follows architecture. Until now, data privacy has been a policy question. Confidential computing makes it a hardware guarantee. Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute, explores how sovereign AI infrastructure, enforced at the silicon level, changes the accountability equation for enterprises and nation-states alike. She draws on Alpha Compute’s work with institutions running sensitive workloads inside sealed, verifiable enclaves, and makes the case that the agentic AI era demands a new foundation, not a patch on the old one.

Keynote Panel Discussion: Three Forces Making Confidential AI A Mandate - Monique Dumais, Encore Capital Group; Jason Clinton, Anthropic; Brittany Kaiser, Alpha Compute; Ion Stoica, Professor, Sky Computing Lab, OPAQUE; & Jason Hiner,

Wednesday June 24, 2026 11:15am - 11:45am PDT

Courtyard

Three forces are accelerating demand for verifiable AI trust and turning Confidential AI from a should into a must. First, Mythos-class models and their successors make it probable that a malicious actor can place itself inside your environment. The agent is the attack surface. Second, current agent architectures are data-leaky. An employee touching the data is one problem. A malicious agent is another. In regulated industries, neither is acceptable. Third, new regulations require runtime proof — what ran, where, under what rules — automated, hardware-signed, third-party-verifiable. The EU AI Act Article 12 enforcement hits August 2, 2026; sovereign-AI rules across the Gulf, EU, India, and Singapore stack behind it. This panel explores what it actually takes to govern agentic AI in high-stakes environments: the architectural requirements, the compliance obligations, and the organizational shifts that make Confidential AI not just defensible, but mandatory.
