This panel brings together experts from different corners of the field to talk about how generative AI is changing cybersecurity and the tricky challenges that come with it. Not only will we explore the technical aspects, but also the ethical considerations our society must have with in this rapidly evolving landscape.

We're not treating this as just a technical conversation. Generative AI in cybersecurity touches code, strategy, and ethics all at once, and we want to dig into all three. By the end of the panel, you should walk away with a clearer sense of the real risks at the language and ecosystem level, some practical lessons from teams working security operations day to day, and a more grounded take on the ethical questions this technology raises.

The CPython runtime is some of the most-used software in the world. Part of maintaining a secure software project like CPython is participating in coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD). This process allows security researchers and maintainers of projects to work together to fix vulnerabilities and alert the public, keeping all Python programmers and users safe.

In this talk attendees will learn about how the Python language organizes its security team, how to balance security and open source contribution in coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and the latest in how open source projects can maintain a sustainable vulnerability disclosure program. Attendees that aren’t currently contributing to open source projects, but have an interest in their dependencies being secure, will learn ways they can contribute meaningfully to the security of open source projects they depend on.
