AI as Shield and Weapon: How Technology is Reshaping Security and Law

In this episode of Our Connected Life, I welcome Brooke Johnson, Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel at Ivanti.com to discuss the dual role of artificial intelligence in government security. We explore how AI functions as both a shield and a weapon, revolutionizing critical infrastructure protection while enabling adversaries to launch increasingly sophisticated attacks. We also dissect the unprecedented speed of AI’s evolution, its transformative potential across industries, and its implications for national security, privacy, and the legal landscape.

Our provocative discussion doesn’t shy away from complex questions, such as how do we regulate an unstoppable force like AI? Can technology emulate compassion and creativity, and what are the legal ramifications if it goes rogue? Packed with insights on human-machine collaboration, responsible AI governance, and the future of digital identities, this episode offers essential perspectives for anyone navigating the rapidly changing intersection of law, security, and innovation. It’s a conversation you can’t afford to miss in our current era where technology is both our greatest tool and our most unpredictable challenge.
