HITCON expands Taiwan′s cybersecurity focus from agentic AI to post-quantum cryptography (Digitimes)
|
|
|
With the recent surge of generative AI in enterprise and consumer applications, AI has begun taking on new roles, moving from simply answering questions to autonomously planning tasks and deploying external tools to execute these tasks. Agentic AI was thus a prominent topic at the recent 2026 Hacks in Taiwan Conference (HITCON) organized by the Association of Hackers in Taiwan, with sessions focusing on cybersecurity risks resulting from AI agents' greater system privileges, data access, and use of external tools....

"Many jobs will disappear forever," Gates wrote in an essay published on his Gates Notes website. He said AI could become "the greatest equalizer ever invented" or "the worst source of injustice," and governments are not adequately preparing for the disruption.
Gates said comparisons between AI and earlier technological changes are misleading. The shift from agricultural to office work occurred over generations and created jobs requiring human thought. AI now can replace human cognition and can operate through devices and systems alrea...
