When we talk about cybersecurity, we tend to focus on threats from the outside: phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches. But the most consequential vulnerabilities in any organization right now are already inside the building, embedded in the tools used every day.
Generative AI has moved from an occasional experiment to a constant presence in the learning and operational environments, and most institutions and businesses have not kept up. Every time a user uploads work to a public AI tool, and every time a user uses an agentic system to complete an assignment, and every time a department adopts a new AI application without a data protection and retention policy, the institution or orgnaization accepts risk it may not even recognize.
This session frames AI governance as a cybersecurity imperative, not just a pedagogical or business competitive preference. Drawing on law, ethics, and cross-disciplinary policy practice, we will examine where the real vulnerabilities are, what workers in every discipline need to understand, and what practical guardrails look like in a world where the threat is already inside the perimeter.
