Panel Q&A

Registration closes 12:00 on Wednesday 1st May

Dr Ruth McAlister, Head of Research and Intelligence, Harod Associates

The impact on AI for criminality, specifically how certain groups of criminals or nefarious actors are utilising the technology, along with the impact this has on crime. I will also cover AI for good in terms of how investigators can utilise some of the tools to assist with investigations and the implications that this too could have, along with the future of AI…

David Wells, Global Security Consultant and an Honorary Research Associate at Swansea University’s Cyber Threat’s Research Centre

How and to what extent terrorists and violent extremists have interacted with generative AI so far, identifing potential ways in which they could misuse generative AI in the future, and contextualize these threats with the likely broader impacts of generative AI. In doing so, I will seek to identify a likely trajectory for the abuse of this technology by terrorist actors, and conclude with some initial recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.
