About this event

The Better Agents of our Nature - Cambridge Summit 2026 is a highly focused, invitation-only summit held on February 20th, 2026, hosted by The Intellectual Forum at Jesus College, Cambridge, in partnership with Mission Control AI PBC and Moment. Designed for senior leaders and operators engaged in building, deploying, and governing autonomous AI systems in critical sectors such as energy, manufacturing, logistics, national security, and finance, this summit addresses pressing questions about the practical realities and governance of autonomous machine intelligence.

Coming at a pivotal moment, where autonomous AI has transitioned from experimental stages into critical operational roles, this event offers a unique platform for thought leaders to collaboratively explore the cultural, ethical, and strategic challenges shaping the future of AI governance and deployment. Emphasizing practical problem-solving over conventional presentations, participants will engage in small, rotating teams to work through structured scenario simulations that mimic real-world, high-stakes environments demanding robust AI decision-making.

The one-day agenda blends intense scenario work with networking and reflection, featuring four scenario sessions, synthesis discussions, and a cocktail reception. All sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule to encourage candid and open dialogue. Attendees include CIOs, technology builders, security and intelligence officials, and policy advisors who bring firsthand operational insights and strategic judgment.

This summit stands out by bridging the gap between rapid technological capabilities and evolving governance frameworks, moving beyond common polarized perspectives to encourage responsible and effective AI integration. It is tailored to experienced professionals looking for in-depth, peer-based collaboration rather than traditional conference formats.

If you are shaping the future of autonomous AI systems and want to engage with peers equally committed to thoughtful, practical governance, requesting an invitation to this exclusive event is strongly encouraged.
