AI is no longer just a technological curiosity; it is becoming an integral part of business strategy.
Companies are investing in generative AI, agents, and automation, but the question is increasingly not whether to use AI, but when, where, and how it can deliver real business value.

During the panel discussion, we’ll talk about how AI is transforming business models, products, decision-making, and the way work is organized. We’ll compare technological potential with business realities: ROI, costs, scalability, competencies, and accountability.

Topics of discussion include:
 Where AI is already delivering measurable business value today,
 AI as a competitive advantage—technology, data, or how it’s used?
 How to measure ROI on AI investments,
 The future of processes and business models,
 AI governance and regulations—a barrier or the foundation for responsible growth?
 Which AI applications will survive the current hype, and which will disappear?
 Will AI become a source of lasting competitive advantage, or will it simply be a standard tool for every business in a few years?

AI is changing the rules of the game in cybersecurity. It enables faster threat analysis, anomaly detection, and automated incident response. At the same time, it gives attackers the tools to create more convincing scams, automate attacks, and operate on a scale never seen before.

On top of that, there’s a new challenge: we must not only use AI to protect
organizations, but also protect the AI itself—the models, agents, data, and systems to which
they have access.

During the panel, we will examine this change from the perspectives of both attackers and defenders.
Topics for discussion include:

• Who makes greater use of AI today—cybercriminals or security teams,
• AI-powered phishing, deepfakes, and the next generation of social engineering,
• new areas of risk,
• new attack types,
• Shadow AI and the risk of uncontrolled use of company data,
• how to secure models, data, and applications that use LLMs,
• identity and trust in a world where sound, images, and video can be generated,
• Where should the line be drawn regarding AI autonomy in the area of security,
• How will the role of cybersecurity specialists change?
• Will AI give a greater advantage to defenders or attackers—and what will cybersecurity look like as autonomous systems carry out more and more actions on both sides?
