Navigating the Intersection of Cybersecurity and AI: A Policy Dialogue for Latin America and the Caribbean
This webinar seeks to address the growing need for public policymakers to understand and navigate the complex landscape of AI-enhanced cybersecurity. By focusing on key topics such as the GCSCC's new AI Cybersecurity Readiness Metric, the reports "AI and Cybersecurity: Balancing Risks and Rewards" and "Unpacking Cyber Resilience," both developed in collaboration between the GCSCC and the World Economic Forum's Centre on Cybersecurity, the event will provide valuable insights for national policymakers to develop integrated strategies that balance the potential of AI with the necessary safeguards against cyber threats.
