Regulators around the world are warning that AI is accelerating the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats and has the potential to transform both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. Frontier AI models can now identify and exploit IT vulnerabilities in a matter of minutes or hours, significantly reducing the time and expertise previously required to launch sophisticated cyber-attacks. As regulators increasingly focus on the risks and harms that advanced AI models may facilitate, organizations across every sector need to develop robust strategies for managing AI-driven cyber risk.
For commercial organizations, this rapidly evolving landscape represents an immediate escalation in legal, regulatory and operational risk. The consequences of failing to anticipate and prepare for AI-enabled cyber threats are becoming increasingly significant.
This panel will explore the emerging AI-driven threat landscape, examine its implications for legal, risk and compliance functions, and provide practical guidance on the steps organizations should be taking now to strengthen their resilience, as well as the measures they should be planning for over the months ahead.
