Official Bio

Aaron Stanley is the CISO at dbt Labs, where his security role connects company-scale governance concerns with the practical risks AI engineering teams face as agentic systems move into production. At the AI Engineer World's Fair 2026, he appears through the Security track sponsor session “AI’s Jurassic Park Period,” a talk centered on the risk pattern that AI agents can make unsafe actions look orderly, reasonable, and compliant. The session frames Stanley as a CISO voice focused on controls, trust boundaries, and failure modes: not just whether AI systems can act, but how organizations can tell when those actions are safe, authorized, and auditable.
