About "Prototype first to ship with confidence: How a PM with design skills takes features from idea to GA"

AI features fail in new ways. In this talk, Patrycja (Product Manager at Commerce) shares how she took AI catalog features from first merchants conversations to general availability. She covers working closely with customers, starting from listening and "North Star" prototype, cutting scope without losing the vision, and using AI across tickets, docs, testing and releases, while key decisions stay with people.

Patrycja Mielewczyk:

Patrycja combines product management with a product-design background to build AI-powered tools for merchants at Commerce. Commerce gives brands an open, AI-driven e-commerce platform to sell everywhere their customers shop.

About "The Dark Side of LLMs: Why We Pretend Shadow AI Doesn't Exist"

Driven by the immense pressure of the $24.3 trillion tech race, which now makes up over 35% of the S&P 500, developers and data scientists are increasingly relying on AI tools to accelerate their workflows. However, this often leads to Shadow AI—the unsanctioned use of artificial intelligence tools within an organization without IT approval. The problem begins when organizations pretend this isn't happening, leaving security teams in a delusion of control.
In this session, we will explore what happens when AI adoption bypasses architecture. We will analyze the real-world consequences of unregulated AI in data and code workflows, from silent business logic errors to data exfiltration and the growing threat of "slop" polluting production repositories. We will also discuss why traditional firewall blocks are just treating the symptoms, and how to address the root cause.
Finally, through a live demo, we will explore the Zero Trust Secure Access (ZTSA) architecture. You will see how to intercept traffic and PII data in-flight, and block non-compliant prompts without ruining developer productivity. The goal is not to block AI, it is to build a safe proxy layer so you can code and analyze data securely.
