AI: From Attack Vector to Cybersecurity Tool — Industry Perspectives and Public Policy Overview (M00c)
The evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, particularly with the rise of sophisticated phishing techniques driven by generative AI and large language models, underscores the critical role of AI in both offense and defense. These advanced threats demand an equally advanced response, where AI becomes indispensable in detection, prevention, and mitigation efforts. This talk explores how AI can be exploited to carry out sophisticated attacks while simultaneously enhancing cybersecurity capabilities. It also examines how policies can be effectively shaped to address AI’s dual role from both perspectives.
