AI has changed the security landscape, from next-gen phishing emails to AI-powered script kiddies. In this presentation, we will run through a survival guide to help stressed-out devs navigate this strange new world. We discuss what AI is and how models are trained, how malicious actors are using AI for evil and give live demos of dependency hallucinations, prompt injection, and data poisoning. Finally, we discuss how software builders can leverage AI to improve software without breaking security ## Speaker ### [Mackenzie](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@mackenzie) Developer advocate - Security fanatic ## Related talks at this congress - [Let's write an exploit using AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/360-let-s-write-an) — Julian Totzek-Hallhuber - [Let’s write an exploit using AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/113-let-s-write-an) — Julian Totzek-Hallhuber - [The transformative impact of GenAI for software development and its implications for cybersecurity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/308-the-transformative) — Chris Wysopal - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/258-you-are-not-an-ai) — Zan Markan
