Our community contributions
[Workshop] Jailbreaking the Ghost: Anatomy of a Secure Agent
(1:45 PM – 2:40 PM | Cybersecurity Ctr 412, 413)
Speakers: Alex Au (Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times) & Henry Wong (Data Scientist)
Dive deep into the scary realities of insecure AI agents (yes, many are basically RCE vulnerabilities in disguise!). Watch a live demo of prompt injection attacks, then rebuild a “production-ready” agent with defense-in-depth: code safeguards, sandboxing, zero-trust identity, and more. Stop building risky chatbots — start building truly secure autonomous systems!
[Speech] From Idea to Impact: A Realistic 90-day Roadmap for Launching Your First Business AI Agent
(4:00 PM – 4:25 PM | Computer Room 511)
Speaker: Eric Chan
A practical, no-fluff roadmap tailored for SMBs, mid-market teams, and departments: from quick scoping & prep, fast prototyping, controlled piloting with metrics, to safe production launch — all in just 90 days.
Spots are free — grab yours early! Lunch tickets are available upon checking in during the morning session and staying for the keynote.
