In this episode of AI Security and the Law, hosts Stephen Lilley and Veronica Glick sit down with Wei Chen, Chief Legal Officer of Infoblox, to explore how the rise of agentic AI is reshaping internet infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the practice of law. Wei explains how the Domain Name System—the internet's foundational routing layer—can play an important role in securing autonomous AI agents, and she discusses Infoblox's DNS-AID proposal to the Internet Engineering Task Force as a path toward open, decentralized governance of the agentic web. The conversation also covers practical advice for lawyers, including building technical fluency with AI tools and embracing disruption as an opportunity for growth.
