It's the End of GRC as We Know It

GRC Data & AI Summit 2026

Opening keynote · Yair Kuznitsov, CEO & Co-Founder, Anecdotes 

Five years ago nobody thought AI could touch law. Too much nuance, too much liability, too much judgment. Then it did, and lawyers stopped doing the first draft and started doing the judgment call. Software engineering went through the same thing. Yair Kuznitsov opens the summit by arguing GRC is having that moment right now, and he breaks it into three shifts most teams only see two of. Talent: GRC leaders becoming the builders and judges of their own agentic programs. Technology: a stack that has not meaningfully changed since the early 2000s finally moving off spreadsheets, evidence repositories, and ticketing systems. And the one people miss, how you define the program in the first place, when quarterly reviews stop being a budget compromise you have to live with.

What you'll take away

• Why law and software engineering are the right analogy, and what actually happened to the people in those roles
• The three shifts driving the change: talent, technology, and how the program itself is defined
• What GRC leaders are now expected to do that they were never asked to do before
• Why quarterly reviews were a cost compromise rather than a best practice, and what replaces them
