 Welcome back to the ITU headquarters here in Geneva which is of course hosting the AI for good global summit This is of course day two a lot of speeches taking place And I'm joined by guests who just gave one none other than Brian Whitton who's senior director of semantic research labs You may not know them, but they're actually the biggest cyber security Platform on the web anywhere. Is that a fair thing to say? Yes. We're the world leader in cyber security So what brings you somewhere like here fishing for business or? Oh, no, no not at all So the summit here artificial intelligence for good We think is great to be highlighting how artificial intelligence is being used to help people in lots of ways So we've been using artificial intelligence since 2004 to protect hundreds of millions of people around the world We use it in our managed security services. We use it in our endpoint security product We've even been doing research sort of pushing the limits on what artificial intelligence can do in general So give me examples of how it helps people what you do sure So we currently process two trillion security events per month on the back end And unfortunately, I don't know of any company that has a budget to hire two trillion security experts So you've got to codify the the expert knowledge into virtual analysts Artificial intelligence to really scale across all of that data And since you are leaders in your field, why would you be here because you also have your AI experience? Well, we think it's important for people as they start formulating policy Around artificial intelligence to factor in both risks and concerns and the real merits of some of these very very powerful technologies There's a lot of talk about having to regulate and you're on the defense side as well the civil side Do you agree with that? You know, I'm an engineer. So I try to stay out of the regulatory discussions I think there are a lot of instruments that could be used To ensure that AI is used only for good and not for ill But at the same time, there are a lot of attackers out there that are going to use AI regardless of what the rules are And so we need to Be able to stay ahead of them in the arms race You know keeping our AI better than their AI and do you manage that? I lead the long-term research for that. It's very fun to also work with the team that is while I'm doing the long-term research It's focused on, you know, year-long and longer research efforts work at the same time I have good friends that are in the 24 by 7 365 Finding fighting and catching bad guys division of the company called star our security technology and response team So at the end of these three days, what would you like to come out of this? What would like Dennis to come away from this from what you've said? So I've I've really enjoyed connecting with others that are using artificial intelligence in powerful ways Including some of the work that's going around on the internet of things Where AI can both be used for good where we're using AI to to help make it IOT safer But at the same time a lot of privacy concerns around how IOT is is unfolding at the moment and that's been raised a lot. So how would you was? What would be your wish list? So I I think I've met a lot of colleagues, and I think we look forward to to collaborating in in the years ahead On on research to help a better protect people's privacy not just their security And that's off to one of the big concerns of everyone right now, right? Exactly. Okay, Brian Whitton senior director Semitic you get the right Semitic exactly. Okay. Thanks much for your time. Thank you so much
