Finally, we've got a speaker!!
AI presents both opportunities and challenges for critical infrastructure including the energy system. While the use of AI can help enhance efficiency, threat actors will find increased attack surfaces, especially regarding Internet of Things applications that are embedded in critical infrastructure systems.
At this session you will learn:
• Shareable insights from closed room intelligence briefings to government agencies
• The hidden functional capabilities of AI and their technical safety risks to be considered for integration into critical infrastructure
• The disputes regarding approaches to AI technical safety between the major AI Labs
• Cybersecurity risks from IoT (Internet of Things) presenting in the power system
