Synopsis

Have you ever seen two ChatGPT agents conversing without human involvement? Have you imagined having a personal AI assistant capable of handling complex tasks, much like Tony Stark's AI in his suit? This thought-provoking session will explore future applications and designs to realise AI's full potential and prepare you to confidently tackle future security challenges, as the future is approaching faster than you think.

GenAI Foundation models possess the ability to understand and generate content. GenAI-based agents gain their autonomy from these foundation models, allowing them to independently break down a given goal into a series of manageable tasks and coordinate their execution to achieve the goal. With advancements in AI interfaces (AI agent-to-agent interfaces), these agents can collaborate effectively to complete the assigned goal.

In this session, two speakers with distinct focuses will present: an enthusiastic visionary highlighting GenAI's potential and a security director addressing the challenges of securing GenAI applications at scale. Together, they will guide the audience through the exciting possibilities of GenAI-based agents and how to prepare for upcoming security challenges.

Agenda:

1. Exploring Autonomous GenAI-based Agents and Future applications:

  • a. The evolution of AI from basic automation to autonomous agents.
  • b. The development of AI agent-to-agent interfaces for effective collaboration.
  • c. Real-world examples of AI agents’ collaboration.

2. Securing GenAI-based Agents application:

  • a. Identifying security challenges unique to autonomous AI agents.
  • b. Strategies for ensuring secure deployment and operation of AI agents.

3. Actions to prepare for the GenAI-based agents deployment

  • a. Steps organizations can take to prepare for the integration of autonomous AI agents.
