Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into a powerful, extremely accessible tool, and it’s increasingly being used for evil. We’ll demonstrate the ease of crafting text, audio, and video-based attacks we’re seeing against big biz in the wild, and discuss what can be done in defense!

Artificial Intelligence, Real Threats

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transcended buzzword status, emerging as a potent and accessible tool. However, this power cuts both ways. In this presentation, we delve into the darker side of AI and its role in sophisticated information security attacks. How can adversaries harness AI, and what defensive strategies can we employ to stay ahead? Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of AI-driven threats and arm ourselves with knowledge to defend against them.
