The Age of Intelligence

We are entering an age where intelligence is boundless. The question is: how will it be used?

In this new age, cyber security is no longer a technical function. Rather, it now sits at the centre of economic growth and has become a critical test for national security, public trust and resilience. As former US President Joe Biden warned, most future major conflicts ‘will be the result of a cyber breach with great consequences.’ Cybercrime is now estimated to cost the world economy $10.5 trillion annually, up from $3 trillion in 2015. That represents one of the largest transfers of economic wealth in history.

In this context, cyber security must move beyond reactive defence. It should become a core strategy in order to protect essential industries such as financial services, healthcare and critical infrastructure while enabling those sectors to innovate with confidence.

Join Jon Sopel and Dimple Ahluwalia on May 13 at Kings Place to explore how cyber security is reshaping global identities and economies in an age of rapid technological change.
