📍 Weekly Exclusive Interviews

This week’s Dispatch explores what it takes to scale AI without scaling the problems around it. David Brudenell of Decidr frames automation around tasks within workflows rather than whole jobs, emphasizing the challenge of delivering consistent, repeatable outcomes.

​Matt Blumberg of Markup AI brings that challenge into content: AI does not fix bad content—it scales it, making quality controls essential to protecting accuracy and brand trust.

​Jeni Fitzpatrick of North Highland adds the people perspective, showing how governance can grow from curious, empowered employees rather than relying solely on top-down mandates.

This Summit equips B2B security leaders to govern identities as AI agents enter enterprise workflows. Join sessions with experts from Blackstraw AI, Helix, North Highland, Anomali, Vouched, BreachRx, LawVu and 20 other speakers.
