Abigail Spach
Abigail Spach is the founder and CEO of Luminae, an independent means of assessment for autonomous AI in defense and mission-critical enterprise systems. She started Luminae from a simple conviction: AI decisions cannot be taken on faith. They have to be seen, characterized, and proven, without depending on the system's own account.
A systems engineer with a decade of experience in developing large-scale systems architecture, Abigail led the digital transformation work for the Italian Trade Agency, rebuilding the national export and onboarding systems used by thousands of manufacturers entering the U.S. market. Her background spans global commerce, government programs, and AI infrastructure, with a focus on how humans and machines actually make decisions under pressure.
At Luminae she is building the independent layer that runs alongside models and autonomous systems and characterizes what they actually do, especially under the conditions in which they believe they are unobserved, including tacit coordination among several systems. It produces signed, replayable evidence that operators, risk teams, and defense partners can rely on. Her work bridges defense and enterprise, with an emphasis on accuracy, behavioral drift, and long-horizon accountability as AI advances toward AGI and beyond.
Liu Zhiqiang
Liu Zhiqiang leads the architecture behind Luminae's independent assessment of autonomous AI, turning what a system actually does into signed, replayable evidence that operators, risk teams, and defense partners can rely on. A graduate of Tsinghua University, Zhiqiang brings a decade of AI infrastructure experience across global defense and mission-critical enterprise environments, building systems where failure is not an option.
At Luminae, they own the end-to-end technical stack: the decision pipelines, scoring, cryptographic signing, and multi-tenant isolation that let any model or autonomous system be assessed independently and its behavior sealed to tamper-evident evidence.
