Artificial intelligence is transforming industries and redefining possibilities, but it also exposes deep cracks in managing identity and data privacy. Richard Bird confronts the chaotic intersection of AI, identity, and an accelerating privacy crisis, where innovation is outpacing regulation and responsibility.

Today's open AI platforms operate on fragile identity systems and inadequate privacy controls, creating a perfect storm for exploitation. These vulnerabilities amplify risks, erode consumer trust, and deepen systemic biases. In this session, Richard draws on his lengthy experience in cybersecurity and his latest role in AI security to connect the dots between a rapidly evolving AI landscape and the missing fundamental control obligations that leave the door open to catastrophic consequences.

From API insecurities to authentication and authorization missteps and failing to apply Zero Trust principles to AI, we'll explore how organizations can address these challenges and secure their digital futures. This isn't just about technology—it's about safeguarding human dignity in a digital age.

Let's navigate the glorious mess together, challenging norms and driving accountability. Our choices today will define whether AI's promise becomes a force for good or the catalyst for a privacy disaster.
