Experts from business, state and federal government, and civil society took the stage on Wednesday, November 15, at the 92nd Street Y in New York City for the 2023 Aspen Cyber Summit.

On the heels of President Biden’s landmark Executive Order on artificial intelligence (AI), these influential thinkers and leaders broke down how generative AI and other emerging technologies will impact cybersecurity today and in the future.

Session topics ranged from a personal discussion of how cybercrime impacts organizations and individuals, to the growing importance of the cybersecurity of space-based systems. The Summit also dug into the federal government’s search for unidentified flying objects (UFOs), the bird-drone conspiracy, and role of technology in both fostering and fighting mis-/disinformation.
