Topics:

• Why is AI a game-changer for security? Can we even have game-changers in cyber security?

• Is it more detection or is it more reducing toil and making humans more productuve? What are you favorite AI for security use cases?

• What “AI + security” issue makes you  - a classic CISO question  here - lose sleep at night?

• Does AI help defenders or attackers more? Won’t attackers adopt faster because they don’t have as many rules (but yes, they have bosses and budgets too)? 

• Aren’t there cases where defenders benefit a lot more and gain a superpower with AI while attackers are faced with defeat?

• Is securing AI more similar or more different from securing other enterprise systems?

• Does shared fate apply to AI?
