AI's Impact on Cyber Warfare and Society

Kramer, also one of the founders of Check Point,

another big cyber

company. Shlomo, it's great to have you here. Welcome.

Thank you for having me.

How is AI cyber warfare shaping geopolitics right

now?

So AI is going to revolutionize cyber warfare, is revolutionizing cyber

warfare from critical infrastructure, uh, to the, uh, uh,

fabric of society and politics and undermining it,

giving unfair advantage to authoritarian, uh, uh,

governments against, uh, democratic countries, uh,

First Amendment type of, uh-

That's already happening?

That's already happening. You're seeing the polarization in

countries that

allow for the First Amendment, uh, and protect it, which is great, and

I know it's difficult to hear, but it's time to limit the First

Amendment in order to protect it, uh, and

quickly before it's too late.

What do you mean limit the First Amendment?

I mean that, uh, we need to, uh, control the platforms,

uh, all the social platforms. We need to stack rank the,

uh, uh,

uh, authenticity of every person that, uh, uh,

expresses themselves online and take, uh, control

over, uh, what they are saying based on that, uh, ranking to-

The government

... the government should-

The government should control the social media.

Yeah, uh, should do that. And we need, uh, to

educate people against lies, and government need to develop

cyber defense programs that are as sophisticated than the cyber

attack. Today, it's a one to 100, uh, ratio,

and, uh, really government are not doing this, uh, today at

any rate, and, uh, enterprises are left,

uh, fending for themselves.

Well, the technology is moving much faster than the political

system typically can

to respond to it.

Right. So you need to use technology in order to

stabilize the political system,

and you need to put adjustments that are perhaps not popular-

I mean, we're at a point, though-

... but necessary

... right, you, I mean, I can go on Instagram or TikTok,

and frankly, it

already is becoming unclear what is fake and what is real.

Exactly.

And once you eliminate that ability to discern truth from

fiction,

then what are you left with?

You are left with polarization of society and inner fighting,

and you have to control that, and you see that already happening, uh,

uh, across the world. So this, uh, is, uh,

an urgent need by the government to do that, and until then,

enterprises are buying by themselves more and more, uh,

cybersecurity solutions. But they can't afford all these,

uh, solutions by themselves, so they are looking for ways,

uh, to deliver more efficient consumption.

And I-
