AI, Security, and Trust: Engineering Lessons from Real-World Data Misuse en
AI-enabled features are now embedded in everyday software systems, from personalization and automation to analytics and decision support. While these systems promise speed and scale, many teams underestimate how ordinary engineering and product decisions around data, identity, and automation can quietly introduce security and trust risks.
This session examines real-world patterns of data misuse and trust failures that occurred not because of advanced attacks, but because of normal architectural choices made under delivery pressure. Using anonymized experience reports, the talk explores how AI-assisted systems amplify existing weaknesses in data handling, access boundaries, and accountability.
Rather than focusing on specific tools or vendors, the session emphasizes engineering judgment, responsibility, and ethical decision-making in modern software development. Attendees will gain a clearer mental model for reasoning about security and trust risks earlier in the lifecycle of AI-enabled systems.
Inside the Onion: From Tor to Threats - Understanding the Hidden Web & Its Impact Digitally en hi
The Internet we see every day is just a fraction of what truly exists. Beneath the surface lies the Dark Web a hidden network built on Tor, Onion Routing, and cryptographic anonymity. While often linked with cybercrime, the same technologies also power secure communication, whistleblower protection, and digital privacy.
In this lightning talk, Himanshu Patil takes you inside the onion layer by layer revealing how Tor’s routing architecture, encryption, and hidden services function, and what developers can learn from them. Through quick, real-world case insights like Silk Road and Alpha Bay, attendees will see both the threats and innovations emerging from the Dark Web.
You’ll walk away with three sharp insights:
• How anonymity networks actually protect or expose users.
• What lessons the Dark Web offers for privacy by design and secure app development.
• How to think ethically about technology that can both protect and harm.
Fast paced, eye-opening, and technically grounded this session is designed to inspire developers to build securely, think ethically, and explore beyond the surface web.
