Sessions
Free-threaded Python aims to significantly improve performance, allowing multiple native threads to execute Python bytecode concurrently. In this talk, we will explore the current state of Python's free-threading initiative and assess its practical readiness for widespread adoption.
AI is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. This talk explores its dual role.
Why AI excels: Vast open-source training data and profit-driven, coding-optimized models make AI a fast, multi-domain expert at writing and finding vulnerabilities in code.
Gatekeeping: Projects like Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing raise hard questions about who should access these powerful tools.
The asymmetry: AI is fundamentally reshaping the defense/offense balance—and demands responsible deployment.
