Artificial intelligence is transforming the technological landscape, bringing both powerful new capabilities and complex risks. As AI systems become embedded in critical infrastructure and decision-making, ensuring their resilience and trustworthiness is as important as leveraging their potential to strengthen defenses. This dual imperative – using AI to enhance security while securing AI itself – sits at the center of global conversations on technology, governance, and organizational strategy.

This session will examine how AI can advance cybersecurity while demanding robust safeguards against misuse, bias, and adversarial threats. Panelists will discuss emerging approaches in identity and access, the role of standards and governance in building trust, and the strategic considerations organizations must navigate to remain resilient – highlighting what it takes to responsibly harness AI while keeping security and trust at the core.
