AI in the Shadows – How Cybercriminals Are Weaponizing AI
AI is no longer just a tool for innovation - it has become a weapon in the hands of cybercriminals. From deepfake-powered scams to self-learning malware and automated hacking, AI is being used to deceive, manipulate, and exploit at a scale never seen before.
In this session, we’ll explore the evolving cybercrime ecosystem, where AI fuels everything from large-scale phishing campaigns to ransomware-as-a-service. Just like bitcoin reshaped cybercrime, AI is accelerating attacks and automation, creating a new digital battlefield.
But with every evolution of attack comes new opportunities for defense. Can we stay ahead, or are we already falling behind? Let’s explore the risks, challenges, and strategies needed to navigate this AI-driven threat landscape.
