Hack to the Future: AI, Cybersecurity, Data Privacy and Keeping Schools One Step Ahead
Description

Great Scott! Cyber threats are coming at 88 MPH, and if schools aren’t prepared, they might just find themselves stuck in the past, refusing to evolve FORWARD and BEYOND. In this electrifyingly collaborative session, we’ll fire up the flux capacitor and explore how AI can be both a cybersecurity superhero and a digital troublemaker. From phishing scams that could make Biff proud to AI-powered defenses worthy of Doc Brown’s lab, you’ll leave with futuristic strategies to keep your school safe. Roads? Where we're going, we do need cybersecurity roadmaps! ...the only humans involved were the voices of Bhargav, Dana, Carl and Jeremy - an amazing crew! Further proof that teaching will never be completely replaced by AI and assist with moving FORWARD and BEYOND!
