Background for this topic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, or generating content. In security reporting, the term commonly includes machine-learning models used for detection and analysis, as well as generative AI applications that produce text, code, images, or other outputs.
AI can help analyze security telemetry, prioritize vulnerabilities, and support investigations, but its outputs can be wrong or manipulated. Important attack surfaces include prompt injection that steers an application into unintended actions, sensitive data being exposed through prompts or model outputs, and excessive permissions granted to AI systems that use external tools. Models can also be degraded by poisoned training data or evaded with carefully crafted inputs. Practitioners should protect training and operational data, limit model access and tool permissions, test for adversarial behavior, and require appropriate human validation before high-impact decisions.
White House Limits Cyber Sanctions, Cuts Digital ID Mandates and Refocuses AI RulesPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that rewrites key cyber policies from the previous White House administration, removing digital ID mandates, mandating secure software standards and narrowing cyber sanctions to foreign actors.

Synthetic data offers organizations a way to develop AI while maintaining privacy compliance but requires careful management to prevent re-identification risks and ensure model accuracy.
When generative AI tools became widely available in late 2022, it wasn’t just technologists who paid attention. Employees across all industries immediately recognized the potential of generative AI to boost productivity, streamline communication and accelerate work. Like so many waves of consumer-first IT innovation before it—file sharing, cloud storage and collaboration platforms—AI landed in
Ransomware, Quantum Computing, Geopolitics, Gen AI and More on the AgendaInfosecurity Europe is set to return June 3 to London. Hot topics at this year's event include everything from quantum computing, geopolitics and artificial intelligence, to supply chain attacks, insider threats and the cybercrime juggernaut that continues to be ransomware.
