SUMMARY:Humans\, Hackers and Hallucinations: The Future of Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:Note: Only UC-affiliated email addresses/individuals will be allowed to sign-up and participate in this webinar. \nArtificial intelligence has quickly shifted from a promising tool to a disruptive toddler running with scissors. While AI enables defenders to detect threats faster and automate response\, it also gives attackers new ways to deceive\, manipulate\, and exploit. From deepfake audio convincing an employee to transfer millions\, to AI-written phishing campaigns that bypass filters\, the game has changed. \nThis session will explore the intersection of AI and social engineering\, revealing how threat actors leverage machine learning to craft convincing attacks and where defenders can push back. We’ll also examine the emerging cybersecurity trends to watch in the coming year\, from the rise of synthetic identities to AI-driven security operations. Most importantly\, we’ll ground the discussion in practical advice: how individuals and organizations can stay vigilant\, adapt defenses\, and avoid becoming the next case study. \nBy the end of the talk\, participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the risks and opportunities AI presents\, as well as actionable strategies to build resilience in an age where the line between human and machine manipulation is increasingly blurred.
