Join industry heavy hitters for an unfiltered look at the future of AI exploitation:
AI is reshaping both sides of the security equation, and the gap between what these models can do and what vendors say they prevent is widening fast. In this panel, offensive security legend Jason Haddix and Anthropic's Rob Bair join moderator Norman Menz to go deep on what AI safety actually looks like from the inside, where it breaks down under real adversarial pressure, and what practitioners need to understand about the threat models that AI companies are, and aren't, defending against. This candid conversation will cover autonomous agents, prompt injection, model abuse at scale, and whether the safeguards being built today can keep pace with the attackers already probing them.
