Robotization and AI threaten cybersecurity – expert

Robotization, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation present a threat to cybersecurity, Rafał Mrówka from the Warsaw School of Economics said on Monday at the presentation of the “Cybersecurity A.D. 2018” report.
“Threats are primarily related to the contact between the public and private spheres,” he added. “The point is to what extent government institutions are prepared to support the development of new technologies and, on the other hand, prepare us for threats related to these technologies,” Mrówka stressed. He added that the pace of technological development makes it all but impossible for government institutions to catch up with relevant regulations. “What happens when a system fails and causes an accident: who should take responsibility?” he asked.
