Intervention
It’s not every day we convene a panel at Recon.
AI affects us all, but where can we go beyond buzzwords and make it concrete?
- What actually works, how we set up our own harnesses, what constantly fails, and what works today that didn’t even a month ago? Are there limits?
- How the technology affects us daily, from attackers to defenders? We see software development sped up to the max, models finding vulnerabilities autonomously, malware being dissected by AI, and written even faster.
- Topics such as disclosure, when vulnerability in code == public, and if coordinated disclosure can survive it. Is full disclosure back?
- And lastly… are we still going to have a job in a year or two? Will there still be a need for researchers? Let’s be specific.
We will welcome surprise guests to the panel, as we cycle through topics. The topics themselves are discussion seeds only.
