Cybersecurity and the Next Wave of AI Systems: MIT CAMS Annual Conference

Artificial intelligence is no longer just generating outputs, it is beginning to act.

Across enterprise systems, AI is moving into roles that initiate decisions, execute workflows, and influence real-world outcomes with limited human oversight. As this shift accelerates, long-standing cybersecurity assumptions are starting to break.

Systems are no longer static. Trust boundaries are no longer clear. And in many cases, organizations are deploying AI faster than they can secure it.

This year's annual conferece brings together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to confront a central question:
What does it mean to secure systems that can think, generate, and act on their own?

Participants will engage with questions that are rapidly moving from theoretical to operational:

• What happens when AI systems act on unverified or manipulated inputs?
• Where do new attack surfaces emerge, and existing surfaces reshape when AI systems generate and execute their own outputs?
• How do you secure a supply chain when the intelligence inside it can be influenced or poisoned?
• What governance models are viable when decision-making is partially delegated to machines?

This is not a future problem. These dynamics are already unfolding across enterprise environments.

The organizations that understand this shift early will be better positioned to manage risk, build resilience, and shape how AI systems are deployed securely at scale.
