OPEN Session: Playing with Fire and Controlling the Flare of AI

Wednesday February 12, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PST

Bar-El Tayouri, Mend.io, Head of Mend AI

AI lets us reimagine what the world could look like, bringing new technologies—and unfortunately, increasing security risks—to life. Dive into the new reality of risk when playing with fire – exploring AI vulnerabilities in real-time, straight from the terminal.

In this session, you’ll see how these vulnerabilities are exploited, uncover adversarial methods, and explore real-world case studies—complete with technical code examples. Reveal how attackers identify and leverage AI weaknesses, including the creation of new zero-days. But knowing the risks is only half the battle. Learn concrete strategies to protect your AI systems, from strengthening prompts and setting up guardrails to spotting rogue agents and running AI-specific red team exercises. Whether you’re a developer or security pro, you’ll leave with the tools to safeguard your AI-powered projects and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Ofer Mendelevitch, Vectara, Developer Relations

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a leading approach for creating ChatGPT-like applications tailored to custom or private datasets. In this workshop, developers and builders will learn what RAG is, the key components of a RAG stack, and understand some of the challenges involved in building RAG and chatbot applications at enterprise scale. Participants will learn how to use Vectara's RAG-as-a-service API to build a working chatbot for their own use-case including both front end and backend. We will finish with an open Q&A session about RAG addressing participants questions.
