Show Notes

In this episode of the Security Insider podcast, we are looking at the ethical development and deployment of AI in the security space.

We all know that AI is set to play a crucial role in the future of not just security but society as a whole. Amongst the many challenges around the development of AI, are things like ensuring that privacy, transparency, security, and fairness are paramount in any discussion and development.

To help us better understand these issues, we are speaking with Philip Meyer. Philip is a Technology Strategist at Microsoft, where he has worked for over 30 years. He helps Microsoft Partners build solutions and services for various sectors using Microsoft’s wide range of products and technologies. His main areas of expertise are Migration to the Cloud, Hybrid Cloud implementations, Artificial Intelligence and Security. He has also held roles in Product Marketing, Business Development and Team Management in his career at Microsoft. Philip will be presenting on AI and the way we, as an industry, might better navigate this uncertain future at the upcoming Security Conference being held in Darling Harbour from the 21st to the 23rd of August.
