Event Description
This presentation explores modern confidentiality, data security, and AI-related professional obligations in an increasingly hostile and deceptive threat environment. It explains how evolving risks such as AI-generated phishing, account takeovers, deepfakes, and inadvertent data sharing intersect with long-standing ethical duties, emphasizing that competence today includes understanding both the benefits and risks of technology. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, the session reinforces core principles like the strategic pause, high-confidence verification, responsible use of generative AI, proper data storage, and personal accountability, concluding that reasonable precautions remain both expected and achievable even as tactics and technologies change.
