Join us online on Wednesday 23rd July at 7pm BST for a panel discussion on the Digital Futures of Security, where leading experts will explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the global security landscape.
As cyber threats escalate and AI transforms intelligence and warfare, what will the next decade of digital security bring? How are nations adapting to hybrid warfare, and what ethical challenges arise in the age of autonomous systems? Can global cooperation keep pace with rapidly evolving digital threats, or are we headed towards a fragmented, tech-driven arms race?
This panel will bring perspectives from academia and industry to offer insight into the strategic, technological, and geopolitical dimensions of our digital futures.
This event is part of the Digital Futures Institute's Living Well with Technology series.
