  • Tuesday, April 8, 2025, 8:30AM - 9:30AM PDT

  • Artificial intelligence systems pose a particular challenge with respect to cybersecurity, owing to their greatly expanded “attack surface” - i.e., the number of all possible attack vectors where a threat actor can access and extract or compromise data. Not surprisingly, with a greatly expanded attack surface comes greatly expanded legal exposure. In this presentation, we will examine the new cybersecurity mandates stemming from U.S. and multinational Al laws and their implications for AI professionals.

AI in business and the enterprise news:

Here’s news that caught our and Perplexity’s attention as notable stories over the last week:

• 20 Ways AI Will Shape The Long-Term Future Of Business (Forbes, March 27, 2025)

  • “Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize enterprise applications, transforming everything from customer service to supply chain management. Businesses can expect significant efficiency gains with AI’s ability to streamline processes, enhance decision-making and personalize user experiences. However, the rapid integration of this evolving technology also brings concerns about workforce displacement, data security and ethical challenges. …the members of Forbes Technology Council discuss the ongoing impact they expect AI to have on enterprises across industries, as well as the long-term implications for the workforce.”

• AI’s Next Leap: 5 Trends Shaping Innovation and ROI (Morgan Stanley, March 20, 2025)

  • “In 2025, technology companies are focused on building AI platforms that meet their enterprise customers’ needs for optimized performance, profitability and security. In doing so, they’re partnering across the AI ecosystem of chips companies, hyperscalers, large language models, data and software companies, and grappling with U.S. trade policy unknowns and resource constraints. The top trends in new AI frontiers and the focus on enterprises include AI reasoning, custom silicon, cloud migrations, systems to measure AI efficacy and building an agentic AI future.”

• ChatGPT’s viral image-generation AI is ‘melting’ OpenAI’s GPUs (CNBC, March 27, 2025)

  • “The company debuted the “high-quality” image-generation tool as a way to produce everything from diagrams, infographics and logos to business cards and stock photos. The feature can also use an image as a starting point for art, such as a custom painting of a pet or editing a professional headshot.”

• The Stanford Emerging Technology Review 2025 Report:  Reporting on Key Technology Areas and their Policy Implications

  • “The Stanford Emerging Technology Review helps America’s public and private sectors better understand transformational technologies so that the United States can seize opportunities, mitigate risks, and ensure its innovation ecosystem continues to thrive. The product of a major new Stanford education initiative, its clear explanation of pivotal tech domains, recent developments within them, and what to look out for in the future makes it an indispensable guide to tomorrow’s world.”

• Cloudflare's Bot Trapping AI Labyrinth (h/t Pablo Biggs, AAIA Charlotte + Latin America Chapter President, Perplexity, March 22, 2025)

  • “Introduced on March 19, 2025, AI Labyrinth represents a significant shift in the approach to combating unauthorized web crawlers. This innovative tool is available to all Cloudflare customers, including those on free plans, and automatically deploys when suspicious bot activity is detected. By leveraging generative AI to create convincing but irrelevant content, AI Labyrinth aims to waste the time and resources of AI crawlers, effectively turning their own technology against them.”

• Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won’t be needed ‘for most things’ (CNBC, March 26, 2025)

  • “...the world is entering a new era of what Gates called “free intelligence” in an interview last month with Harvard University professor and happiness expert Arthur Brooks. The result will be rapid advances in AI-powered technologies that are accessible and touch nearly every aspect of our lives, Gates has said, from improved medicines and diagnoses to widely available AI tutors and virtual assistants.”

  • ““It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.”
