Trustworthy Productivity: Securing AI Accelerated Development

Autonomous AI agents amplify productivity but can cause severe damage without safeguards. Defend the ReAct loop—context, reasoning, and tools—through provenance gates, planner-critic separation, scoped credentials, sandboxed code, and STRIDE/MAESTRO threat modeling. With robust logging, bounded autonomy, and red-teaming, agents can deliver trustworthy productivity while minimizing risk.

About the conference

Code Mesh London is an annual conference dedicated to non-mainstream technologies. In 2013 it featured talks from over 50 inventors and experts in languages, libraries, operating systems and technologies that handle the programming and business challenges of today. Programming languages discussed ranged from technologies that have been around for a while such as Haskell, Clojure or Erlang to new languages such as Elixir, Rust, Go and Julia.
