The International Monetary Fund (IMF) states that cybersecurity/technologies and AI are the new denominators of growth and development of our time. Although these technologies offer several advantages, Forbes posits that these systems threaten livelihood security by facilitating capabilities that malicious actors could abuse. The Brandeis Global Cyber Security and AI Conference seeks to assemble individuals, institutions, industry, academics, students, and leading experts to examine these concerns and explore solutions. The conference will discuss current and emerging opportunities and the implications of cyber and AI technologies in the global economy. It will provide delegates with essential contemporary cybersecurity and AI knowledge and an advanced conceptual understanding of this fast-growing sector of our economy.
The conference will also feature keynotes, high-level plenary, and parallel sessions with paper presentations focused on addressing critical debates and engaging discussions on current/emerging policies, strategies, and vital research in this sector. Keynotes and papers will address topics such as Cybersecurity, Technology and Public Policy, Cyber technologies and AI, Cyber Technology + AI in Development and Security/Defence, Cybertechnologies and Democracy, Cybertechnologies + AI and Health, Cybertechnologies + AI and Mining, Environmental Protection, Cyber Technology + AI in Project Management, Cybersecurity + AI in Education, Gender and Law. See more topics to be covered on our program page.
Conference participants in these sessions will also learn about research on AI systems designed/developed to enhance livelihood security and resilience. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with policy/industry experts and peers and foster collaboration. Delegates will also learn about emerging career opportunities in the cybertechnology sector and how they may transition into such industries. The Conference Organizing Team looks forward to seeing you at the Global Cyber Security/Technologies and AI Conference at The Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, in April! Delegates will receive a certificate of participation, which will give them an edge in our advanced global digital knowledge economy.
