Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the WordPress ecosystem — from AI writing assistants and chatbots to automated SEO tools and smart plugins. While these tools improve productivity and user experience, they also introduce new security risks that many website owners and developers are not prepared for.
This session explores the emerging security challenges of integrating AI into WordPress websites. Attendees will learn how AI features can unintentionally expose sensitive data, create new attack surfaces, and be exploited through techniques such as prompt injection, API misuse, and insecure plugin configurations.
Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, this talk will demonstrate how attackers target AI-enabled websites and what developers, agencies, and site owners can do to reduce risk. The session will also introduce simple governance practices — including access control, monitoring, and responsible AI usage policies — that help maintain trust and accountability when deploying AI tools.
By the end of this talk, participants will understand how to safely adopt AI within WordPress while protecting their websites, users, and data.
