While AI and advanced technology offer a pathway to greater innovation, they also open another door for malicious cyber actors to target life companies. AI is a double-edged sword. As quick as we are to adopt and gain efficiencies from these new technologies, bad actors are quicker. As a result, regulations around cybersecurity and protections for AI continue to also evolve quickly in response to these new developing technologies. The Department of Justice has also made it clear that companies will need to show that compliance programs address and mitigate risks related to the use of AI if and when breaches do arise. While AI and advanced technologies offer a breadth of opportunity in the life sciences space for innovation and acceleration, there can be resistance and hesitancy from companies or employees to embrace these tools. It’s critical to follow a digital literacy approach that exposes employees to new technologies and provides training on how to use them, how to keep them secure, and how to protect data. It’s one of the most important ways life sciences companies can successfully navigate the adoption and implementation of AI and advanced technology. At Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, our life sciences and cybersecurity teams are on top of the ever-evolving landscape of AI, automation, and other emerging technologies. We know how it impacts companies from both an innovation and regulatory standpoint. We’re ready to help your company embrace innovation and stay compliant with all regulatory requirements while making sure your data and trade secrets are protected and secure.

Yesterday, I posted about a recent breach of security at a Chicago children’s hospital. Cyberattacks on hospitals are quite common, unfortunately. Their digital systems hold numerous private and sensitive information related to your digital identity and make great fodder for attackers to seek out. 🧠 With the advent of technologies such as Neura Link, Elon Musk’s new venture that successfully implanted their chip into a human brain a few weeks ago, this discussion becomes even more intriguing. The data we are able to collect about our bodies, about our health, and about our minds is rapidly becoming more and more intimate. I am all for #TechInnovation—especially when related to health and medical advancements such as Neuralink. But it is also a reminder that as tech advances, so should the security around it, too. As Neuralink’s tech, and others like it, become more and more capable of accessing and interpreting brain activity, there could be profound implications for privacy and the control of personal #DigitalIdentities. I will be interested to see how the industry ensures that this data and individuals’ rights will be safeguarded. What are your thoughts on Neuralink and “brain learning machines”? 👇

I had the pleasure of discussing Intel's IT strategy and "The Next Evolution of IT" on Metis Strategy's Technovation podcast with Peter High. We explored the impact of AI on boosting operational efficiency (such as 65% faster data processing), the importance of cybersecurity in software development, and Intel's commitment to sustainable IT practices. Listen for insights on how Intel IT is driving innovation for the company's future. https://lnkd.in/e_hnyhCP #IAmIntel #AI #Sustainability

🚀 Exciting News in AI Development! 🚀 I'm thrilled to share a groundbreaking initiative that's set to revolutionize the way we approach artificial intelligence development and safety! MITRE, a key player in public sector research and development, has partnered with NVIDIA to launch an innovative AI "sandbox". This collaboration aims to create a secure environment where researchers and developers can explore, build, and test AI applications safely and responsibly. This AI supercomputer sandbox is powered by NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology and provides an incredible opportunity for advancing AI in a way that prioritizes ethical considerations and security. The initiative not only offers high computational power but also supports the development of AI in alignment with best practices and regulations. What makes this partnership particularly exciting is its potential to accelerate innovation while ensuring that the new technologies are robust against threats and are aligned with ethical standards. This initiative could set a new benchmark for responsible AI development, offering a model that could be replicated across industries. For those of us in the tech and AI sectors, this represents a unique opportunity to engage with state-of-the-art resources, collaborate on groundbreaking projects, and contribute to shaping the future of responsible AI. Let's keep a close eye on this collaboration and explore how we can contribute to or benefit from this pioneering venture! #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews #Innovation #Cybersecurity #NVIDIA #MITRE #EthicalAI #AITechnology #AIdevelopment

Every year since 2014, our founder and CEO, Theresa Payton ✪, has made cybersecurity predictions. Using her extensive experience in #technology and #cybersecurity from the White House to the Board Rooms of some of America's biggest companies, Theresa has offered these predictions as a way to prepare Fortalice Solutions, LLC clients for a range of cybersecurity events. Starting today, and every Friday in May, we will unveil one of her five predictions for 2025. Prediction No. 1, we are calling "Masquerade: Spies Among Us." In 1950, English mathematician, computer scientist, and philosopher, Alan Turing, the “Father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence,” introduced the “Turing Test” (originally called the Imitation Game). Turing designed the test to measure a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Some 75 years after Professor Turing unveiled his revolutionary test, Theresa speculates that AI algorithms engineered by rogue nation-states will use generative #AI and #Deepfakes to create fake personas that can pass the #TuringTest. The nation-states will leverage the technology to create images of natural persons and AI-generated virtual assistants who can unsuspectingly carry out nuanced conversations with regular humans. These human-like digital assistants will be ubiquitous, popping up everywhere from workplace video meetings to social media, dating, and gaming platforms. Ultimately, these nation-states will look to harness this technology to build and gain trust enabling them to commit political and economic espionage acts. #ArtificialIntelligence Agree? Disagree? Sound off in the comments. Let's start a conversation! Want more? For a copy of Theresa's full "Predicting the Future of Cybersecurity, Volume II" White Paper, which includes all of her predictions from the last decade (and her team's evaluation of those predictions), email us at watchmen@fortalicesolutions.com.
