(P01) (INCYBER) Opening Summit- Rebuilding trust

Climate change,
geopolitical instability,
cybersecurity, and the
challenges posed AI and
big data: these four
issues dominate business
concerns, according
to Axa’s 2024 «Future
Risks Report.»
This sense of global vulnerability, shared by
public opinion and all economic stakeholders,
reflects a growing risk aversion in our societies.
The emergence of a complex transactional
world, where relationships are increasingly
governed by rules and compliance standards,
combined with the rise of technologies and the
growing legal scrutiny of exchanges, intensifies
the intolerance for unpredictability.
However, this sense of vulnerability is also symptomatic
of a global «polycrisis.» The combination
of geopolitical instability and our growing
dependence on digital systems generates systemic
risks with unpredictable, interdependent
effects that impact all layers of the cyber domain:
physical infrastructure, data, and even
public opinion due to the significant influence
of social networks.
Responses to these challenges are varied: political,
industrial, technological, legal, insurance-
based, and more. But above all, they require
a coordinated and collective approach,
which is a challenge in an increasingly fragmented
world.
Does a multipolar world necessarily mean a
fragmented one, especially in the digital realm?
How can we manage the tensions surrounding
the AI race? How can we reconcile risk management
with innovation? How can we combat
disinformation and misinformation that erode
collective trust? Ultimately, how can we restore
trust—the key to economic prosperity, the
foundation of social relationships, and the driving
force of our democracies?
