Saturday 1600 Crystal Ballroom: One of the original speakers from the first HOPE conference in 1994 is back with a new book that examines how humans must strengthen our cognitive defenses against AI-driven reality distortion, TMI/disinformation, manipulation, and algorithmic addictions. This talk will discuss the intersection of cybersecurity and cognitive security. The vast similarities between silicon and carbon systems offer cognitive defenders an existing framework for strengthening our mental immunity systems against information pathogens at the national, enterprise, and personal levels. You will see how the security, privacy, ethics, and global policy implications are staggering.
