Abstract:
AI agents are far riskier than simple chat bots because they take real actions across systems. This talk breaks down the modern agent stack and shows where things fail in practice, including goal tampering, memory poisoning, auth hijacking, and unsafe tool use. A live demo illustrates how these weaknesses can turn a normal user into an admin and leak sensitive data. The takeaway is that teams should give agents only the access they need, enforce delegated authentication, and monitor every action as if it matters.
