The new dawn: Cyber risks in an AI world

This presentation provides a critical examination of the cyber security challenges emerging from the integration of Artificial Intelligence in enterprise environments, particularly delving into the multifaceted risks, outcomes, and strategic responses essential in the current and future AI-driven cyber security realm.

Focusing on AI-specific cyber security risks, the presentation unveils various threats, including sophisticated data breaches and manipulations of AI systems, data sets, mis/dis information and the dead internet. These issues are framed within the context of Australia’s status as a significant target for cyber attacks, emphasising the national and international ramifications. The talk presents a vivid picture of how AI, if compromised, can have far-reaching impacts on national security, economic stability, and international relations.

Strategies to mitigate these risks are then explored, highlighting the necessity of a security-first approach in AI development and the implementation of ethical AI practices.

A detailed analysis of all risk outcomes, threats, and vulnerabilities associated with AI in cyber security is provided. This includes an exploration of the national consequences, such as impacts on Australia’s economic stability and public sector integrity.

The presentation provides a comprehensive overview and strategic guide for navigating AI’s cyber security challenges. It highlights the urgency for strategic measures in safeguarding against these challenges, resonating with Australia’s goal of establishing itself as a leader in cyber security in an AI-driven future.
