Talk & Tact : Cyber-securing Drones & Artificial Intelligence - Session 2

Artificial intelligence (AI) and drones are rapidly evolving technologies transforming various industries. AI is the development of intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence; it is used in finance, healthcare, and transportation to automate processes and make more informed decisions. Conversely, drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that can be operated remotely or autonomously for various applications, including surveillance, delivery, and inspection. AI and Drones are increasingly developing, so risks like data breaches, malware attacks, and hacking attempts also increase. Therefore, the need for cybersecurity becomes more crucial.

Objectives

• To explore the current regulatory landscape for drones and innovative technologies in India, focusing on the role of AI and its impact on security and law enforcement.
• To provide insights into the reasons for the volatility of drone regulations and discuss potential pathways towards a more stable regulatory environment.
• To explore the current strategies law enforcement uses to counter drone threats and AI's potential benefits and risks.
• Potential implications of the dual-use regulation for the development and deployment of drones and innovative technologies

FOCUS of the Event 

Why is the drone regulation environment so volatile in nature? How and when will we expect mature and stable regulation in the drone ecosystem globally? What can we expect from the regulatory community in the area?
