Abstract

The technological power struggle among major developed countries, particularly between the United States and China, is intensifying. In this context, fields with high technological and economic value—such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, semiconductors, and batteries—are emerging as key elements of national economic security. Cybersecurity, in particular, is evolving by integrating these advanced technologies, thus transforming the paradigms of military security and national intelligence activities. Therefore, there is an increasing need to develop comprehensive security strategies that incorporate artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and space technologies. This presentation will delve into innovations and strategies for future global cybersecurity.

Abstract

With the recent advancements in generative AI technology, particularly language models, a wide range of applications have emerged. These models are expanding their reach from previously utilized areas like speech recognition and language translation to fields such as legal case analysis and medical data analysis, and they are now demonstrating their capabilities in cybersecurity as well.
However, in the field of cybersecurity, where the correctness of the information is crucial, the existing generative AI language models have shown some limitations. To address this issue, this presentation will introduce specialized language models for cybersecurity, such as DarkBERT and CyberTuned, and explain how these models are used to detect cybercrime. We will explore the methods for generating the DarkBERT and CyberTuned models, their internal structures, and their practical applications.

Abstract

AI is revolutionizing industry and reshaping the way we live, work and connect. It unlocks unprecedented capabilities and enhancing productivity across diverse sectors, such as healthcare, finance and many others. While pursuing innovation in this space, it is equally important to recognise the associated risks, including their potential to be used for harm.
This presentation will delve into how vulnerabilities in AI could introduce and exacerbate security risks, as well as the emergence of AI-enabled threats. It will share how governments can address these issues with ecosystem players, and Singapore’s strategic approach to AI governance, aimed at cultivating a trustworthy AI ecosystem that balances innovation with the assurance of trust and security.

Abstract

Discussions at the UN has increasingly been focused on action-oriented approaches to the framework of responsible state behaviour in cyberspace. This framework is largely underpinned by four main pillars, namely norms, international law, capacity building, and confidence building measures. These pillars are highly interconnected, and play a large part in the creation of a rules-based order in cyberspace that every state and stakeholder can participate in. Outside the UN, discussions over the role of capacity building and confidence building measures have taken place in various international and regional fora such as the ASEAN Regional Forum and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe to varying levels of implementation and effectiveness. This presentation seeks to unpack and look at the different ideas of capacity building that states have as well as how confidence building measures may help with the improvement of capacity building measures.

Abstract

With the advancement of generative AI technology, deepfakes and fake news have become more sophisticated, reaching a point where it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake. As a result, various fake news in the form of misinformation or disinformation are emerging as new threats to our society. The number of cases of damage caused by fake pornographic videos, forged audio, elaborately created fake news, or phishing emails reported in the media is rapidly increasing, and if left unattended, the credibility of the digital society is in danger of being fatally damaged. In this lecture, we will classify various forms of fake news and introduce various technologies to proactively respond to the threat of fake news. We will also discuss the direction in which our society can respond to fake news and restore trust in the digital society.
