Kirils Solovjovs – Overdependence on AI: What Could Go Wrong?

Kirils Solovjovs is a privacy activist and Latvia’s leading white-hat hacker. He began programming at age 7, and by grade 9 was already writing machine code directly in a hex editor during lunch breaks. His hobby is asking “what are you gonna do with that piece of information about me?” everywhere, every time.

He is the author of the jailbreak tool for MikroTik RouterOS and played a pivotal role in developing e-Saeima, the world’s first fully remote legislative system, used by the Latvian Parliament. Today, Kirils serves as lead researcher at Possible Security.

At BalticNOG 2026, Kirils brings that same instinct for finding what breaks to his talk, “Overdependence on AI: What Could Go Wrong?”

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Talk

Kirils has a track record of finding the exact spot where a system’s assumptions break down, from RouterOS to national legislative infrastructure. That’s a rare perspective to bring to the stage, and worth hearing regardless of the topic.

If you’ve followed his work before, or you’re just curious what Latvia’s leading white-hat hacker has to say next, this is one to catch.
