Our 2026 conference will be held on 18 March 2026 at the home of Valur Football Club at Hlíðarenda, Reykjavik.
We would love to introduce our keynote speaker for this event, The wonderful and talented Katie Paxton-Fear with their talk “Building and breaking AI agents”.
Description:
AI agents are the evolution of the chatbot, AI has escaped their chains of a chat box response and are now helping us browse the web, do our research and run our security tools. But with so much autonomy something is bound to go wrong, eventually. This session will introduce how AI agents and built and deployed, what security measures are but in place and finally how to hack them. Turning agents against their programming as they go from friend to foe, the friendly bot happily booking your flights is now plotting your downfall instead.
Bio:
She used to make apps, and now she breaks them. Dr Katie is a hacker, she finds vulnerabilities in code before the bad guys do, so it can be fixed rather than exploited. She uses her PhD in AI and Cyber Security, with her background as a developer and data scientist to find the vulnerabilities that others miss. She often speaks publicly and to the media, sharing her experiences so companies can create better software and that regular people can be more aware of their security
