While it may seem harmless to give your AI a name, or a gender, you could be inadvertently opening up a security risk in the process. Dr. Peter Garraghan has spent years studying how attackers exploit AI systems, and some of his findings are surprisingly human. AI models can be manipulated through language, using techniques that resemble the social engineering tactics cybersecurity professionals have dealt with for decades.

Stuck waiting on hardware procurement cycles while critical workloads sit in "ACCEPTED" state? In this demo, see how Cloudera’s Unified Cloud Experience solves on-prem resource crunches using secure Cloud Bursting. Follow along with a real-world financial fraud detection pipeline as it seamlessly scales out to AWS compute—without migrating sensitive on-prem HDFS datasets, rewriting Spark code, or compromising Ranger security and Atlas lineage.

One developer burned through 300 million AI tokens in a single week. The payoff was far less impressive. For Todd Trevillion, it's a striking example of what can happen when AI adoption outpaces the controls needed to manage it. And with autonomous AI agents beginning to make decisions on behalf of businesses, the stakes are getting higher.

Debugging slow SQL queries shouldn't mean drowning in thousands of lines of JSON. In this video, we test the new Impala AI Query Profile Analyzer natively in the web UI. Watch how generative AI investigates query execution, tests multiple performance hypotheses, and finds the exact 1-line SQL fix to eliminate extreme data skew across 27 million rows.

You can talk an AI model into breaking its own rules. Sometimes, all it takes is knowing what to say.

Can AI agents actually fix production Kubernetes clusters, or are we just trapped in flashy AI marketing hype? In this Cloud Native Budapest session at Cloudera, Yurii Palamarchuk (Cloudera) breaks down why most AI demos fail in production, and Péter Megyesi shares how autonomous AI agents (Claude Code, kubectl) resolved a complex 6-year-old Ceph & Kubernetes outage.

See how Cloudera Impala's Delegated Admin for SQL-Based Access Management helps enterprises decentralize access management, reduce IT bottlenecks, and streamline data access administration. This demo shows how delegated administration enables authorized teams to manage access through SQL, reducing reliance on centralized IT administrators and manual UI-based processes.

The AI worked in the sandbox. Then it met the real world. David Hardoon learned that lesson during an ATM optimization project designed to improve cash-delivery routes. Once deployed, the system collided with traffic and unpredictable schedules, which are the realities that face the people doing the work. Recorded at *EVOLVE26* Singapore, this episode of The AI Forecast brings Paul Muller together with David Hardoon, Head of Advanced AI at Accenture, to explore why the human side of AI transformation can determine whether promising technology ever delivers value in production.

Is hands-off AI adoption turning your business into the "Wild West?" Handing out credit cards for unlimited tokens without proper guard rails is a recipe for failure. Discover why establishing best practices and security rails is essential as AI agents transform the enterprise.
