Presentation: Risk and Reward in the Age of AI

Digital transformation is occurring globally, and the rise of AI technologies holds significant promise to solve important societal challenges. However, this potential comes with risk, particularly against critical infrastructure and intellectual property. How should innovators, researchers, businesses, governments, and technology providers think about the future, and how can we up our collective cyber defense game to maintain resilience in this evolving threat environment? In this session, Mark McIntyre, Field CISO for Microsoft’s Defense Industrial Base business, will discuss Microsoft’s perspective on the global technology landscape and threat actors, the company’s investments to protect the ecosystem, and how AI is playing an increasingly important role.
