Here is the first speaker for Data Sanity London Talks!

πŸŽ™ It's All Fun and Games Until You Deploy It in Production

Speaker: Maria Matveeva, AI Team Lead @ AdTech Holding

Maria's team built an LLM-powered onboarding agent to help advertisers launch and edit campaigns faster, and the prototype looked great. Then real users showed up. The token budget evaporated in days, innocent-looking prompts pried open surprising weaknesses, and β€” asked a simple question about traffic sources β€” the bot cheerfully explained that most of the traffic comes from adult websites.

This talk covers what went wrong in production and how the system was redesigned to survive it.

πŸ—“ When: Thursday, 23 July, 6:00 – 9:00 PM
πŸ“ Where: Civo Tech Junction, London
πŸš€ Free β€” Register to secure your spot!
