RSAC Tech Talk - Blade Runners for AI & Critical Infrastructure by Divjot Bawa
RSA Conference 2024 · Tech Talk
In this compelling RSAC 2024 talk, Divjot Bawa, a Cyber-AI Policy Fellow at CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), posited CISA as the "Blade Runner" for the US digital ecosystem, particularly concerning the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into critical infrastructure. Drawing parallels to the 1982 sci-fi classic *Blade Runner*, where enforcement officials mitigate risks from bio-engineered replicants in a technologically advanced dystopia, Bawa articulated CISA's mission: to safeguard American critical infrastructure from the unpredictable risks posed by AI systems while harnessing their transformative benefits.
