Description
AI and cybersecurity: an ally for protection or a weapon for cybercriminals?
Artificial intelligence is revolutionising cybersecurity... but in the hands of cybercriminals, it is becoming a formidable weapon. Today, AI is used both to strengthen security and to circumvent defences and manipulate individuals. Sentimental scams, identity theft, false information... how do these threats spread, and above all, how can you protect yourself against them?
Using concrete, accessible examples, this seminar will plunge you into today's cybersecurity challenges. You will discover how cybercriminals are exploiting AI to perfect their techniques, and what strategies to adopt to avoid falling into their traps.
For example, fraudsters used AI to manipulate a French woman into believing she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt, bilking her out of more than 830,000 euros. Similarly, during Hurricane Helene, deepfakes were broadcast to propagate false disaster scenes, sowing panic on social networks.
These cases illustrate a worrying reality: AI can no longer simply imitate humans, it can also deceive, manipulate and exploit our emotions. But there are solutions to these threats. This seminar will give you the keys to detecting scams, avoiding pitfalls and adopting safer digital practices.
Whether you're curious or concerned about your online security, this event is the perfect opportunity to understand how AI is changing the game and how to protect yourself effectively in a rapidly changing digital world.
