Artificial intelligence transforms cybersecurity as both defender and threat vector. AI enhances detection capabilities, automates responses and processes data at unprecedented scale, yet introduces vulnerabilities through adversarial attacks, algorithmic bias and shadow AI proliferation. For CISOs, the challenge extends beyond technology to culture, governance and execution discipline.

Effective AI security requires balancing innovation velocity with acceptable risk boundaries. Organizations must establish psychological safety for challenging AI-generated outputs while embedding human oversight into automated decisions.

This session, led by Sekhar Nagasundaram of Elevance Health, explores practical strategies for:

• Building trustworthy AI through foundational principles and continuous monitoring;
• Transforming from AI skeptics to responsible stewards through collaborative governance;
• Establishing acceptable use policies that enable innovation within ethical boundaries.
