AI Under Attack: How Executives Can Govern, Defend, and Win the AI Arms Race
Artificial intelligence is the dual-use dilemma of our decade. Every organization deploying AI to drive productivity is also inheriting a new category of cybersecurity risk — one that most leadership teams are not prepared to govern. Adversaries are using AI to launch faster, more adaptive, and harder-to-detect attacks. The executives who win this arms race are not the ones who avoid AI — they are the ones who govern it with precision and defend it with intention. Dewayne Hart — Navy veteran and Fortune 500 cybersecurity advisor — delivers a practical AI security roadmap built for the governance realities of 2026. He unpacks adversarial machine learning, exposes why Shadow AI inside your organization may already be your greatest unmanaged liability, and provides ethical AI frameworks that let teams innovate without handing attackers the keys to critical infrastructure. Leaders leave with clarity, confidence, and a concrete action plan.
Attendees Leave With:
- A clear governance framework for AI adoption that eliminates hidden attack surfaces
- Strategies to detect and defend against adversarial machine learning and model manipulation
- A practical plan for identifying and managing Shadow AI risks across the enterprise
- Ethical AI adoption guidelines that balance innovation with security accountability
- Confidence to lead AI risk conversations at the board and C-suite level
