Keeping the keys: Session 1 recap of the webinar series on AI and cybersecurity

Dr. Oleh Basystiuk, academic researcher and software engineer at SET University, led Session 1, “Agentic AI and Secure Coding”. His lecture, “Building agents without handing them the keys”, started with the foundations of Agentic AI and moved to the central trade-off: how useful an agent is versus how much control you keep over the systems it touches.

39 participants from 6 universities attended. Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion, and to Dr. Basystiuk for opening the series.

Three more cybersecurity sessions are coming up: 18 November, 25 November and 2 December. Participation is free, with separate registration for each session: schedule and links.
