Securing the Future: AI Safety, Cyber Threats, and Human Survival

As AI rapidly transforms societies, the risks it brings grow just as fast. "Securing the Future: AI Safety, Cyber Threats, and Human Survival" is a side event of Global Tech Weekend 2025 exploring the dangers and global responses to advanced AI systems and cybersecurity threats.​

Through expert talks, interactive panels, and open discussions, participants will examine critical topics — from deepfakes and AI dominance to phishing and AI powered misinformation.​

This event gathers researchers and professionals to confront how AI is reshaping security, trust, and even human survival — and what must be done to ensure a safer, more resilient technological future.​
