Gen AI: Humanlike, With Access to Vast Amounts of Data

Acting as a bridge between traditional AI and machine learning, generative AI has the "ability to act as a human who has access to a tremendous amount of data," said Marc Lueck, EMEA CISO at Zscaler.

Lueck underscored the dual nature of artificial intelligence - as both a powerful defense mechanism and a potential vulnerability that demands careful consideration and proactive protection. He highlighted the paradoxical response to AI adoption, as a survey revealed that 95% of respondents use AI in their businesses but 89% view it as a threat.

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at Black Hat Europe 2023, Lueck also discussed:

• The defensive use of AI in countering evolving threats, such as sophisticated phishing attacks;
• The potential security implications of implementing gen AI technologies;
• The fundamental shift toward AI as a pivotal force in various industries.

Lueck has nearly 30 years of information security experience. His expertise spans enterprise security management, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, compliance and security architecture.
