He also shares the journeys of typical enterprises, who discover they have many more LLMs running across their tech stack and data supply chain than they originally thought. Then, Tanner Burns, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, joins to demonstrate HiddenLayer's capabilities, focusing on its top 2 usecases for securing LLMs.”

Can you trick the AI model running locally on a security camera into thinking you're a bird (and not a burglar)? We sat down Kasimir Schulz, principle security researcher at HiddenLayer, to discuss Edge AI, and to learn about how AI running on your device (at the "edge" of the network) can be compromised with something like a QR code.
