AI Breakfast – When Agentic Systems Go Sideways: What Can Go Wrong and How to Prevent It
August 5 | 7:30 a.m – 9:00 a.m.
IANS Suite – Mandalay Bay
We’ve heard the horror stories. There was the rental car company that had its entire production database wiped by an AI coding agent performing a routine task. And the time attackers took over Instagram accounts via Meta’s AI support assistant via a confused deputy attack. The list goes on. Join us for a lively discussion with IANS Faculty Jake Williams where he’ll walk through recent cases where agents went sideways (either on their own, or by adversarial prompting), and provide actionable, practical guidance to help you prevent similar situations from occurring within your enterprise.
