Room 9
In this talks, I explore the concept of "vibe coding" and addresses the potential pitfalls of unguided AI-generated code. I stand for a balanced approach, advocating for AI as a powerful tool that, when wielded with enough knowledge and background, can accelerate innovation. I focus on equipping developers with practical rules and insights to prevent "security nightmares," ensuring that the dream of rapid AI-assisted development is built on best practices. I show you how things can go wrong with real case studies and will help you understand AI's limitations, the critical need for code review, adherence to established software development standards, and continuous learning in the fast-evolving landscape of AI security.
Key take-aways:
In the talk I introduce my 7 rules for secure coding in the age of AI, and with a little bit of humor show you where things can go horribly wrong, so that you do not make the same mistakes!
Target audience:
Developers wanting to use AI to generate code, AI enthousiasts who want to build secure systems.
