On 5 November, the Defence & Security Committee of the British Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Brazil (Britcham) hosted the webinar “Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Geopolitical Intersections”, bringing together experts to discuss the impact of AI on the corporate environment, digital security, and the global geopolitical landscape. The event featured Abian Laginestra, CEO of Kimoshiro Cybersecurity, Fabio Araujo, Senior Cybersecurity Manager at Accenture, and Fernando Nery, Co-Founder of Módulo S/A, and was moderated by José Augusto Leal, Copresident of Britcham’s Defence & Security Committee. During the discussion, the speakers highlighted the importance of AI governance and regulation, as well as the risks associated with the use of AI without adequate controls, including data leakage, shadow AI, autonomous agents, deepfakes, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The debate also underscored the need to strengthen security awareness across organisations, simplify internal policies, and adopt a comprehensive approach to protection that covers the entire AI lifecycle. The webinar provided valuable insights into today’s cybersecurity challenges and fostered a productive exchange of knowledge and experiences among participants.
