AI and cybersecurity policy

Description

Total length of the course: <1 hour

First, forget doom-laden accounts of cyber catastrophe to understand what digital harm actually looks like. Second, layer in AI, where expert opinion is genuinely divided, the physical-world limitations of the technology are routinely underestimated, and the risks to the attacker-defender balance are real but not one-sided. Then confront the deeper structural problem: the market failures, misaligned incentives, foundational insecurities baked into the internet's origins, and a culture of blaming end users that have kept cybersecurity broken. And finally, discover how regulation, secure-by-design thinking, and the advent of AI itself might finally usher in a more cyber-secure world.
