AI + Cybersecurity: Building the Future of Digital Trust

Description

This half-day joint forum will explore how AI and cybersecurity intersect.

The workshop will feature keynote presentations and roundtable discussions that enable guests to better understand and bridge the gap between the two, examine how AI can enhance cybersecurity capabilities, and how security considerations must shape AI development. By the end of the day, attendees will not only sharpen their technical skills but build a shared vocabulary and vision for how AI and cyber can merge to create stronger, smarter, and more resilient systems.
