On September 20, 2023, CED President, Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, hosted a Special Trustee Roundtable on Opportunities and Challenges of AI and its Impact on Cybersecurity for a discussion on how CEOs should implement the rapidly advancing capacities of artificial in￾telligence (AI). Trustees representing a wide variety of industries and economic sectors, dis￾cussed the impact of AI in their companies and in their sectors and shared the approach and actions they were taking to optimize the value of the technology at these early stages and mitigate the risks.Rapidly-advancing AI is changing the entire landscape of business. This requires that the CEO, the C-Suite and the organization’s Board of Directors undertake the responsibility of decision-making on the role AI in their business operations, and how to mitigate against gen￾erative AI’s accelerating cybersecurity threat to in business operations, even in the absence of formal regulations—which may in any event be on the horizon. More broadly, both busi￾ness leaders and policymakers must consider the larger challenge of how to structure guard￾rails around the use of AI that both allow innovation and at the same time protect both com￾panies and the global economy from threats associated with the use of AI, including cyber￾security threats, privacy, deep fakes, untrustworthy data, and other risks.
