In the US, the 2024 Presidential Election comes at a time of unprecedented distrust in civic institutions and information. To strengthen election resilience, Aspen Digital has launched the #AIElections Initiative. Through results-oriented convenings and resources, they aim to ensure leaders from across sectors are equipped to meet the challenges on the horizon, until Inauguration Day and beyond.

DealBook/The New York Times quoted me today (scroll waaaaay down!) on my assertion that businesses will stay the course on securing the rights and needs of employees when it comes to reproductive rights, even as political backlash has forced them to do so more quietly. Companies will do the work to support their employees – as the piece notes; as it is critical both for employee health and the health of the enterprise.

As organizations entrust more sensitive data to systems that are enabled by #ArtificialIntelligence (AI), the stakes of getting #cybersecurity right have never been higher.

Imagine two scenarios: one where AI-powered tools disproportionately advantage defenders, and another where they do the same for attackers.

Our US and Global Cybersecurity Groups brought together experts to imagine each of these possible futures, and then recommend a roadmap for how private and public actors can give defenders the upper hand.
