Google launches AI Cyber Defense Initiative to improve security infrastructure
Today, many seasoned security professionals will tell you they’ve been fighting a constant battle against cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers. They will also tell you that any clear-eyed assessment shows that most of the patches, preventative measures and public awareness campaigns can only succeed at mitigating yesterday’s threats — not the threats waiting in the wings. That could be changing. As the world focuses on the potential of AI — and governments and industry work on a regulatory approach to ensure AI is safe and secure — we believe that AI represents an inflection point for digital security. We’re not alone. More than 40% of people view better security as a top application for AI — and it’s a topic that will be front and center at the Munich Security Conference this weekend.
