The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Emergency Communications
- Presenter(s): Megan Bixler
- Session Length: 60 minutes
- Date: Jul 27, 2025
AI is becoming ubiquitous within emergency communications. ECCs should understand the current threats and opportunities that AI presents for an ECC cybersecurity program. This session will discuss how AI can enhance cybersecurity by automating threat detection and response, improving communication reliability, and assist in safeguarding sensitive data. There are also cybersecurity risks associated with AI implementation, such as vulnerabilities, data privacy issues, and the potential for cyberattacks. Outcomes for this session will include participants having and understanding of actionable strategies for safety integrating AI into ECC cybersecurity programs that will ensure both enhanced operational effectiveness and a robust cybersecurity program.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop Cybersecurity Safe Strategies for AI Integration for emergency communications.
- Identify the threats and opportunities implementing AI into an ECC cybersecurity program.
- Understand the role of AI in enhancing cybersecurity for ECCs.
