Post-keynote interview with Karim Hijazi, Founder and CEO of Vigilocity, at the VirtuPort MENA ISC 2023 Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In this keynote talk, Karim Hijazi, delves into the intricate interplay between AI and the fundamental pillars of trust and authenticity in the context of cybersecurity, safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring reliable intelligence, and fortifying digital infrastructures. Drawing from interdisciplinary research and real-world case studies, Hijazi critically examines the challenges AI presently poses and what it represents for our future. Factors such as algorithmic biases, adversarial attacks, and data privacy breaches have come under scrutiny, necessitating a comprehensive framework for AI governance. While AI can enhance data analysis and streamline processes, it can also be exploited to sow disinformation, create and propagate sophisticated malware, deceive the most discerning and tenured minds, and even “disobey” human directives. Conversely, the utilization of AI-powered techniques offers novel avenues for enhancing authenticity verification in an era rife with synthetic media and deep fakes. By analyzing the tension between AI’s inherent limitations and its innovative potential, this talk empowers stakeholders to craft strategies that foster a balanced and responsible integration of AI in cybersecurity and intelligence practices.
