Securing Tomorrow: Governing AI and Quantum in a Data-Driven World What if the greatest risk in AI and quantum innovation isn’t the technology—but our failure to govern it? In this keynote, Irene Corpuz challenges data scientists and decision-makers to think beyond models and metrics, urging a shift toward ethics, transparency, and security at the core of innovation. Drawing from global frameworks and cross-sector experience, she explores how data science must evolve—not just to accelerate progress, but to protect the future.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept; it is actively reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, acting as both a powerful shield and a formidable weapon. This session provides a comprehensive overview of the dual role AI plays in the world of digital defense. We will first explore the significant opportunities AI presents to cybersecurity professionals. We’ll delve into how machine learning models and automation are revolutionizing security operations, enabling: Proactive Threat Hunting, Automated Incident Response (SOAR), Predictive Analytics. Conversely, we will confront the rising challenges posed by adversarial AI. Attackers are now leveraging artificial intelligence to create more sophisticated and evasive threats, including: AI-Powered Malware, Deepfake Social Engineering, Automated Vulnerability Exploitation. Attendees will leave with a clear, balanced understanding of this new paradigm and actionable strategies to harness AI’s benefits while building resilient defenses against the next generation of AI-driven cyber threats.
