Title:
AI and Cybersecurity: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Description:
Technology has transformed healthcare delivery and pharmacology helping to drive up patient outcomes and wellness. But our adoption has led to wide gaps in clinical safety and cybersecurity. Much of this transformation has been fueled by the development of AI and IoMT, both of which are becoming ever more prevalent across healthcare providers. Do we have a good understanding of the risks that new technology is introducing?
While AI has been applied in many positive ways, it has also more recently been applied in some very nefarious ways, some of which may lead to significant cybersecurity, patient safety, and regulatory compliance concerns in the future.
This session looks at healthcare technology transformation and the development of offensive AI, while making the case for greater development of defensive AI cybersecurity tools. It will also examine the degree of implicit trust that clinicians have in their medical applications and devices and question whether new technology should require a higher level of security and safety training.
