Artificial intelligence is constantly making the news, but AI and machine learning are not new phenomena. Although the majority of ‘pundits’ issue dire, apocalyptic warnings about their impact on the future of humanity, these technologies have been with us for some time, whether as algorithms to beat chess grandmasters or as software capable of analysing vast amounts of data with an accuracy and speed beyond that of a human. AI is, in many ways, an accurate cybernetic technology.
Generative AI’s evolution has accelerated the public debate and will undoubtedly continue to significantly impact the global economy and our societies. But history has taught us that the threat is how humans implement and evolve technology, not the technology itself. AI will certainly further enable bad actors with adaptive malware, deep-fake phishing campaigns and accelerated brute-force attacks, to name but a few. However, it will also enable defences, assist us to improve our resilience, maximise our ability to answer challenges, and deliver further technological advances, too. In the aftermath of the International AI Summit at the National Museum of Computing on 2 November, this conference discussed AI’s implications, both good and bad, and explored how we can maximise this evolving technology to enhance our security.
Please note: This event was over-subscribed within one week of us announcing the agenda. We’re very sorry that we were not able to offer places to everybody who applied.
