AI and Us
AI is asking again what we have spent years protecting. We answer it together.
#OWASPKoreaDayAbout
AI already writes code, finds vulnerabilities and sends the patch. So the question has moved on from "will AI replace people?" to "then what do people do?" We found two answers: use AI properly as a tool, and share with each other faster.
AI and Us — this is not a choice between the two. The OWASP Seoul logo is a taegeuk. Just as 청 (blue) and 홍 (red) interlock inside one circle, AI — a new capability and a new attack surface at once — and the people who wield it turn on the same circle together.
A model knows only up to its training cut-off. What blew up on the floor yesterday, the person next to you knows. That is why a community is still the fastest channel there is. Human Intelligence for Artificial Intelligence. One day in Seoul, 28 November 2026, working out how to handle AI and how to learn from one another.

How 28 November 2026 runs, drawn to scale — the height of a block is its real duration. Doors open at 09:00 in the main lounge; titles and speakers go up after the CFP closes.
