Structured Automation with Agentic AI: Lessons from Community Operations
2025-09-24 · 17:50
Alexander C. S. Hendorf
– Partner
@ opotoc GmbH
This talk presents a technical case study of applying agentic AI systems to automate community operations at PyCon DE & PyData, treated as an open-source testbed. The key lesson is simple: AI only works when put on a leash. Reliable results required good architecture, a clear plan, and structured data models — from YAML and Pydantic schemas to reproducible pipelines with GitHub Actions. With that foundation, LLM agents supported logistics, FAQs, video processing, and scheduling; without it, they failed. By contrasting successes and failure modes across different coding agents, the talk demonstrates that robust design, validation, and controlled context are prerequisites for making agentic AI usable in real-world workflows. |

Security Risks in AI
2025-09-24 · 17:30
Sebastian Krauß
– AI Test Developer
@ Validaitor
In this session, we’ll take a closer look at the security risks that come with integrating LLMs into applications. LLMs can be powerful allies in cybersecurity — helping with detection, testing, and protection — but they can just as easily be exploited for attacks. We’ll explore key threats such as prompt injection, jailbreaking, and agent-specific vulnerabilities, and discuss why they are currently seen as the most pressing risks. Finally, we’ll look at defense strategies, from prompt-level safeguards to system-wide controls, and show how best practices can make a real difference in securing AI systems. |

Talk #2 AI & Data Strategy After NVIDIA GTC 2025: What You Need to Know Alexander C. S. Hendorf AI & Data Strategy and Implementation @ opotoc GmbH Is your AI and data strategy still a patchwork of isolated tools and projects? NVIDIA's GTC 2025 highlighted a crucial shift: the future isn't just about better AI models, but about their deep convergence with simulation, Digital Twins, and synthetic data. This session cuts through the GTC noise to deliver a focused strategic perspective for tech leaders and practitioners. Discover why an end-to-end, interdisciplinary approach is no longer optional but essential for tackling complex challenges and enabling true hyperautomation. We'll explore practical insights on leveraging these converging technologies, moving beyond fragmented efforts, and fostering the collaboration needed to stop talking and start building integrated, high-impact solutions. Learn what you really need to know to shape your AI data strategy moving forward.

S. Hendorf 8:15 pm Lightning Talks 8:30 pm Networking with snacks and beverages 9:00 pm End 🍿 How to join remotely Talk#1 - Thomas: https://youtube.com/live/pTSKL6e66mE Talk#2 - Alexander: https://youtube.com/live/ooyT412QCSI ⚡️ Lightning Talks Feel free to submit a proposal How to sign up for on site It's important for us to make this meet up happen in a responsible way. We have limited seats available only. No limits to sign up remotely! This event will be in English. ---- Talk #1 How to Hack an Agent – or Not Thomas Fraunholz Senior Researcher AI @ Smart Labs AI Large language models (LLMs) are not as secure as they seem. Beyond their tendency to “hallucinate,” they can be manipulated using jailbreaks and adversarial prompts, bypassing safeguards designed to keep them in check. But the real challenge arises when LLMs are connected to agents with real-world capabilities—like sending emails. This talk explores the security risks of AI agents and the ongoing research into making them more resilient. Using the "Adaptive Prompt Injection: LLMail Inject" challenge from the IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning as a case study, we’ll examine how Microsoft’s Phi3 and OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini handle adversarial attacks. We’ll break down security techniques like LLM judges, task drift detection, and prompt shields—critical concepts as the EU AI Act's security mandates take effect in August 2025. Attendees will gain insights into the strengths and weaknesses of current AI security mechanisms and learn practical strategies for assessing the safety of AI agents in production environments. About the Speaker Thomas is an MLOps and NLP expert with a background in applied mathematics and embedded programming. He has led two publicly funded AI research programs with the German Aerospace Center and is currently focused on AI-driven cybersecurity at Smart Labs AI GmbH. In his spare time, he’s developing a low-budget drone system for detecting bark beetle infestations, blending his passion for AI and embedded systems.
