About the Forum
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies has transformed the cybersecurity landscape, creating new opportunities as well as emerging threats such as deepfakes, AI-driven cyberattacks, identity manipulation, and data breaches. These developments raise critical concerns regarding digital security, privacy, accountability, and the adequacy of existing legal frameworks.
To address these challenges, CYBER FRONT 2026 is being organized as a specialized Student and Scholars Dialogue. Moving beyond conventional lecture formats, the forum emphasizes interactive, interdisciplinary exchange between law, technology, policy, and digital governance.
Objectives of the Dialogue
Examine emerging cybersecurity threats in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Encourage interdisciplinary dialogue between Law, Technology, Policy, and Governance. Analyse the adequacy of existing cyber laws in addressing emerging threats. Discuss questions of AI accountability, liability, and responsibility.
