Summary
America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history? Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that. Ben will discuss the human advantage and how we can prepare now. In the leadership and communications segment, Cybersecurity's Economics Are Broken. Automation Alone Won't Fix It, The business case for burning down security debt: A practical approach for CISOs, The last human relationship in cybersecurity, and more!
