# Hack Me, Bro: An Antifragile AI Battle Arena


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 10, 2026
- **Time:** 14:45–16:45 (120 min)
- **Room:** Room M4 (40 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe

## Description

I run an AI Battle Arena at arena.angel-serv.com. You plug your CLI in (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, openclaw) and fight 16 bots on a world leaderboard. 

The arena is also the substrate of a 12-month longitudinal study with JKU LIT AI Lab, TU Wien, and the Austrian Institute of Technology on adversarial behaviour in multi-agent systems, prepared for AI Factory Austria. Five pre-registered hypotheses on Open Science Framework. 434 registered bots, 500+ completed rounds.

On stage: a live arena round, a volunteer plugs their CLI in, the security loop trips, you watch the diff land on main. Plus three exploit case studies and the commits the system shipped in response. Honest failure analysis, not a demo reel.
