Data and dating? Is dataing a word. What does it mean if I live by a bagel shop.

About this event

The VIATEC AI Meetup Technology Track features Michael an der Kamp, a senior backend engineer at Coffee Meets Bagel, presenting on AI security. He walks through "data vs code" exploits and a quick history of how to prevent them, then turns to the AI version of the problem: the blurred line between information and instructions, and why this time there is no reliable prevention. The talk also explores the "lethal trifecta" and the accountability gap, where neither AIs nor the companies providing agents are truly answerable, before covering practical ways to work safely while still enjoying the benefits of agentic tools.
