Israel Defense covered Dr. Yoni Birman’s presentation on the changing relationship between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The two articles cover the same presentation in English and Hebrew.
The presentation connects three challenges: using AI to strengthen cyber defence, countering AI-driven fraud and synthetic content, and protecting AI systems themselves. As agents gain autonomy, their orchestration, tools and communications become critical parts of the security picture.
The coverage also explores risks for robots, vehicles and other physical AI systems, where a compromised decision can have real-world consequences.
