AI and the Future of Cyber Capacity Building – Session 162 WSIS+20 High-Level Event
Understanding the Opportunities, Risks, and Threats
Artificial Intelligence is changing the digital landscape, and nowhere more so than in relation to security and cyber capacity building. This session, which also serves as a meeting of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) Working Group on Emerging Technologies, is an opportunity to delve more deeply into the opportunities, threats, and risks created by AI for those in the cyber capacity building space.
Key questions to drive the conversation include:
What opportunities does AI create for improving cyber capacity and security? Are there examples already in play?
What risks are created or exacerbated by AI? How do cyber capacity building efforts need to evolve to address these risks?
Are the current approaches to cyber capacity building up to the challenge? Or do we need to look at new approaches or new kinds of collaboration?
Are there specific groups or countries at greater risk from AI-enabled or AI-enhanced threats? Are there capacity gaps that may grow to be significant dangers in the future?
The session will feature interventions by speakers from governments, the private sector, and capacity building professionals. We look forward to an interactive session with those onsite and those joining remotely, and will reserve space for a broader discussion for all stakeholders.

An Open Conversation with the Stakeholder Community: What’s Next for the UN Cybercrime Convention?
After over two years of negotiations, the Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes failed to reach an agreement on a future convention on cybercrime. Member States could not reach a consensus on the scope of the convention, or the extent of human rights safeguards in what was meant to be the final negotiating session, so an additional session will take place in August.
As the mandate for the Ad Hoc Committee expires at the UN General Assembly in September, the LetsTalkCyber initiative is organizing an online roundtable on 30 May 2024 at 14:00 CEST (Check the time on your timezone here) to take stock of the discussions on the future of the UN Cybercrime Convention, the progress made, the risks for human rights of the current draft, the future implementation of the convention, and the challenges ahead.
The conversation will be moderated by Edoardo Ravaioli, Coordinator of the Let’sTalkCyber initiative. The panel of speakers will include:
• Briony Daley Whitworth, Director, Cyber & Tech Multilateral Engagement Sector, International Security Division, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia.
• Raman Jit Singh Chima, Asia Pacific Policy Director and Senior International Counsel, Access Now
• Katitza Rodríguez, Policy Director for Global Privacy, EFF
• Paloma Lara Castro, Public Policy Coordinator, Derechos Digitales
• Nick Ashton-Hart, Head of Delegation, Cybersecurity Tech Accord
• Timea Suto, Global Digital Policy Lead, International Chamber of Commerce [TBC]

Securing Cyberspace: A Conversation with Dean Bobby Chesney and Professor Ciaran Martin
Governments and private companies around the world face a growing number of cyber security threats and attacks that are expected to increase in frequency, severity, and complexity in the coming years.
Yet despite shared concern about the evolving cyber threat landscape, and a general consensus about the applicability of existing international law to the cyber context, global efforts to regulate cyberspace have struggled to keep pace.
Robert (Bobby) Chesney, Dean of the University of Texas School of Law and James A Baker Chair III in the Rule of Law and World Affairs at UT, joins Professor Ciaran Martin at the Blavatnik School to discuss emerging trends in cyber security and pathways towards strengthening international law protections in cyberspace.
This event is the keynote session of a closed-door roundtable held at the Blavatnik School in collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin.
