Robocop (1987) introduced us to a vision of the future where humanity and technology combined to serve, protect, and uphold justice. Murphy embodied what we strive for in AI today: precision, ethics, and a mission to protect.
But ED-209? A cautionary tale of what happens when we prioritise power over control and ambition over accountability.
We stand at a crossroads. AI can be our Murphy: protective, ethical, and safe. Or it can become ED-209: unchecked and dangerous. The choice is ours, and this talk offers a roadmap to ensure we march towards the former.

Daniel has been on a relentless quest to build software so secure that even he might struggle to hack it (but don't count on it). Self-diagnosed with an obsession for bugs and offensive operations, he's turned his penchant for poking holes into a crusade for making vendors shape up. By channelling his mischief into the OWASP ASVS and other cunning initiatives, he's been plotting to save the software world—one responsible vendor at a time.
