TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 hosts a panel on the safety of autonomous AI systems
The TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 conference (13–15 October, San Francisco) will host a panel of representatives from Shield AI, Waabi and General Motors on safety, testing and regulation of AI in autonomous drones, vehicles and robotics.
The approaches taken by Shield AI and Waabi (simulation testing, gradual validation before deployment without human supervision, an emphasis on safety culture) are a relevant reference point for companies planning to deploy autonomous AI systems in regulated or safety-critical operations.
