Paper explores the knowledge and human judgment computing professionals must retain as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly autonomous
NEW YORK, NY – August 31, 2026 – [KOREWIRE] – KoreInside, the infrastructure platform for the global private capital markets, today announced that its Chief Scientist and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Kiran Garimella, will present his paper, “Who Verifies the AI? An Agency-Theoretic Criterion for What Computing Curricula Must Still Teach,” at the inaugural ACM AI Leadership Summit, taking place from August 30 through September 2, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The ACM AI Leadership Summit brings together internationally recognized researchers, technology leaders, educators, policymakers, and emerging AI scholars to examine the future direction of artificial intelligence. The program covers frontier AI technologies, AI governance, agentic AI, scientific discovery, education, workforce transformation, and the responsible and ethical development of AI systems.
Dr. Garimella’s paper addresses one of the most important questions arising from the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence: If AI systems increasingly perform the work of computing professionals, who possesses the knowledge and judgment required to verify that the AI has performed that work correctly?
Using an agency-theoretic perspective, the paper examines the relationship between AI systems acting as agents and the human professionals who remain accountable for their decisions and outcomes. It considers what foundational knowledge computing curricula must continue to teach so that future professionals can independently evaluate, challenge, and verify AI-generated conclusions.
The paper’s central question extends beyond computer science education. As AI becomes embedded in regulated and high-consequence environments, organizations must ensure that human accountability, independent judgment, governance, and verification are not displaced by automation.
This is particularly important in the private capital markets, where AI-supported decisions may affect investor identity verification, regulatory compliance, suitability reviews, transaction monitoring, payments, securities ownership, recordkeeping, risk assessment, and market integrity. In these environments, efficiency cannot replace accountability, and an AI-generated result cannot be accepted merely because it was produced by an advanced system.
“Dr. Garimella’s presentation at the ACM AI Leadership Summit 2026 represents another major milestone for KoreInside and for our growing thought leadership at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the private capital markets,” said Oscar A. Jofre, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of KoreInside. “The question is no longer whether AI will become part of regulated financial infrastructure. It already has. The real question is who will verify the AI, who will remain accountable for its decisions, and whether the next generation of professionals will retain the knowledge required to recognize when an AI system is wrong. At KoreInside, we believe AI must strengthen human judgment, governance, compliance, and accountability, not replace them.”
Dr. Garimella’s research aligns closely with KoreInside’s approach to responsible artificial intelligence. KoreInside is developing AI-enabled infrastructure designed to support regulated private capital market participants while preserving human oversight, auditable decision-making, data integrity, and clearly defined accountability.
Within the private capital markets, the consequences of an incorrect or unverified AI output can be significant. An error may affect whether an investor is approved, whether a transaction is flagged, whether securities are issued or transferred correctly, or whether a regulated intermediary meets its obligations. KoreInside therefore believes that AI must operate within an infrastructure that provides verifiable data, traceable actions, appropriate escalation processes, and qualified human review.
“The future of AI will not be defined solely by what machines can do,” Jofre added. “It will also be defined by what people must still know. Dr. Garimella’s work challenges educators, technology companies, regulators, and business leaders to protect the knowledge required for independent verification. That is essential if we want AI systems that can be trusted in the real world.”
The presentation further reinforces KoreInside’s commitment to advancing responsible innovation across AI, compliance, digital identity, payments, securities ownership, and private market infrastructure. It also demonstrates how academic research can contribute to the practical governance frameworks required when AI is deployed within regulated financial environments.
The ACM AI Leadership Summit will be held from August 30 to September 2, 2026, with its principal sessions at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta and its Doctoral Consortium at Georgia Tech.
