Taking the fight to bad actors<\/p>\n
First, some grounding: When I talk about security, I\u2019m talking about it from two vantage points \u2014 cybersecurity and security writ large.<\/p>\n
From a cybersecurity perspective, defenders who use AI gain an advantage because these tools allow them to supercharge their work in ways that just weren\u2019t possible before.<\/p>\n
Take the example of the Ukrainian startup, LetsData.<\/p>\n
While in Munich, I had the chance to sit down with LetsData\u2019s co-founder, Ksenia Iliuk, who shared how they\u2019re using AI tools to scan for signs of InfoOps<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Historically, we had to train every model for every language, every type of content, every platform,\u201d Ksenia explained.<\/p>\n But now with AI, her team is able to dramatically decrease the cost and time it takes to scan millions of media and social media publications to detect early signals of InfoOps. Using AI in this way, Ksenia\u2019s team is stopping attacks that would ultimately undermine democratic institutions and destabilize society.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an exciting example of AI giving defenders an advantage. But scaling that kind of impact requires a continuous pipeline of innovation.<\/p>\n
