Is AI Ready for Us?
About This Session
In an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly redefining the boundaries of possibility, an uncomfortable question looms large: What if humans aren’t good enough for AI?
This provocative session, led by Richard Bird—renowned cybersecurity thought leader, identity security evangelist, and pragmatic disruptor known for his observations on data and citizen privacy, as well as API and AI security —will explore this unsettling idea through a lens of hard truths and candid insight.
In this session, we will examine how organizations are racing to integrate AI agents into environments where data classification, protection, identity security and governance have long been neglected. We will shine a light on the paradox of trusting AI with data that we have historically failed to safeguard. Moreover, the talk will delve into the troubling trend of AI startups failing to protect the most vulnerable—our children and marginalized communities—in their quest for innovation at any cost.
