Is the Artificial Intelligence the new buzz-word in technology? Or it is going to change the world more than anything in the history of mankind. How will the society look in the next 15 years? How will the business evolve in the next 20 years? Is it true that more than 40% of the jobs will disappear? Will we assist to a battle between technology and humanity in the years to come?
We don’t know how the future will look like but we know for sure that the artificial intelligence will increase all the aspects of our life. Energy will be produced and used efficiently, the cities will become intelligent, the medicine and the education will be transformed in a very positive way, our lifestyle will enhance with intelligent and automated features and we will be accompanied by our personal intelligent assistant. The business will flourish and they will become more efficient introducing AI, machine learning, automation and all the new technology.

IT security and the cybersecurity are a major concern for companies and CIOs while adopting the, IoT, digitization, AI innovation, machine learning, automation. Industrial area is doomed to be “unsecure by design”. Bridging the operational networks (OT) with IT networks put the industrial area at risks. Everything has changed after Stuxnet for national critical infrastructure and the new NIS directive put a great challenge for companies to fight against cyber(terrorism)
PANEL: SECURITY. Are we really capable of protecting our data and users?
Internet of Things, the Trojan horse for the Cyberwar? Are CIOs ready to join the battle?
The explosion of interconnection of the physical objects, ranging from airplanes, refrigerators to artificial hearts or even children’s toys, into a single platform named Internet of Things is changing the world to a new reality. The positive and great potential of Internet of Things is amazing. But the new reality brings to the same table the cyber-criminals well equipped and ready to exploit vulnerabilities in new technologies, and to cause irreparable damage to both organizations and individuals. Are CIOs ready to fight the cyber war? Are the organizations aware of the threats of the new IoT reality? How prepared are the authorities to respond?
