This confluence of meta-factors most likely represent some future global status quo. We are entering a new era of AI-generated fake everything — fake sites, fake identities, fake news, fake products, fake services and more. And we’re already well into an era where geopolitical conflict plays out locally in a way that affects corporations, schools, hospitals and citizens directly.
And, of course, we’re definitely at the beginning of an age where advanced AI is required for both for cyberattack and cyber defense.
So, enjoy the Olympic Games. Root for your favorite countries and athletes and watch the drama unfold. But also watch how Paris performs with the enormous challenges of fakes and cyberattacks. And, in the aftermath, look for lessons learned. The Olympics this year will prove to be a laboratory for threats — and defenses against those threats — that are coming our way in the next few years.
