Overview
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a background helper—it has become a participant in our software supply chains. Tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI-powered IDEs can now generate code, recommend dependencies, suggest infrastructure, and even automate deployments. On the surface this looks like productivity magic. Under the hood, it is a supply chain disruptor.
This talk explores the emergence of “Shadow AI” as a new vector in software supply chain security, examining how AI-powered development tools introduce new risks and how organizations can address them.
