Session Abstract

Subtitle: Harnessing the Power of AI Browsers While Navigating the Security Minefield AI browsers are revolutionizing how we interact with the web—autonomous task completion, context-aware intelligence, form-filling automation, and seamless cross-tab awareness are just the beginning. But with great power comes great vulnerability. These tools don't just read pages; they remember sessions, interpret prompts, and process potentially sensitive data with minimal oversight. In this session, we'll explore the double-edged sword of AI browser technology. Discover what makes them genuinely game-changing: agentic automation that can navigate complex workflows, native AI search that replaces traditional links with intelligent summaries, and personalized AI assistants that understand your intent across multiple contexts. Then we'll pull back the curtain on the security nightmare nobody asked for—uncontrolled data flows to third-party APIs, session context leakage, accidental exposure of trade secrets, and the prompt injection vulnerabilities that could compromise your entire digital ecosystem. You'll walk away with: A realistic framework for evaluating where AI browsers fit (and don't fit) in your organization Practical governance strategies: when to disable AI features, where to audit activity, and how to align usage with data handling policies Real-world scenarios showing how confidential information leaks happen—and how to prevent them The critical questions to ask vendors about data retention, inference architecture, and auditability A responsible adoption roadmap balancing innovation with security and compliance Whether you're a consultant/engineer wrestling with how to safely deploy this technology or a security leader trying to contain the risk, this session cuts through the hype and gives you the strategies to tame the beast.

'm Gerjon, an incurable tech optimist with 25+ years of experience pushing the boundary between "can't" and "can" and then automating the boring bits. Today, I help organizations move from AI hype to real business impact. As AI Lead at Interstellar Group, my mission is simple: close the gap between AI ambition and AI results. I bring together AI expertise across the Interstellar ecosystem and help turn AI opportunities into practical solutions that deliver measurable business value. Alongside this role, I serve as CTO at RawWorks, where I help shape practical AI strategies, architectures, and ways of working that customers can actually use. As a Microsoft MVP in both M365 Copilot and Copilot Studio, I actively help organizations understand, adopt, and scale AI solutions that create real outcomes. A Microsoft MVP in AI, speaker, podcast host, and lifelong learner, I believe the gap between AI hype and AI results is closed through simplicity, trust, and execution. 🎤 Speaker Regular speaker at conferences, community events, and user groups, translating complex AI and technology trends into practical insights and actionable guidance. 🎙️ Podcast Host Co-host of Impact of AI: Explored, where together with James O'Regan I explore the opportunities, challenges, and real-world impact of AI.
