Plenary session: Technology – A Moment in Time
We have reached a unique moment. Artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, advanced materials, bioengineering, robotics, spatial computing, decentralised computing systems and next-generation energy technologies represent not just individual advances but technologies ready to combine in unprecedented ways. Increased integration of and dependence on more complex supply chains is leading to a more opaque and unpredictable business landscape. The rapid adoption of emerging technologies is also contributing to new vulnerabilities as cybercriminals harness them effectively to achieve greater sophistication and scale. Simultaneously, the proliferation of regulatory requirements around the world will potentially add a significant compliance burden for organisations. All of these scenarios are compounded by a widening future skills gap, raising the bar on managing AI and cyber risks effectively
