Join us on Monday, October 2 for the second seminar in the Fall 2023 CyberMētis Speaker Series featuring John deCraen, Associate Managing Director of Cyber Risk at Kroll.
Artificial Intelligence and the ever-growing stable of tools that allow us to interact with it have become seemingly ubiquitous overnight. They are accessible in every way we interact with digital life, both at home and at work. Corporations are faced with difficult ethical, security, operational and competitive decisions on how to manage their organizations and the people and technology they rely on. The security and privacy issues are complex and the solutions may be even more so. All aspects of corporate operations have been impacted and now we’ll have to check our well-adjusted culture, governance, risk and compliance activities as well as our tool stack at the door.
This seminar series is open to UC Berkeley graduate and undergraduate students, researchers, and faculty members only. Light refreshments will be provided.
RSVPs required: https://forms.gle/WRsSyHtBqgg6YLau8
