Black Hat Europe 2023: Should we regulate AI?

A reflective piece from Black Hat Europe 2023 critiques the lag between technological innovation and government regulation, focusing on AI and IoT policymaking in the UK. It argues that late-stage standards are hard to enforce across billions of deployed devices, underscores policy’s role in consumer education (e.g., unique passwords and updates), notes the shift toward enterprise IoT standards, and closes with a stance against encryption backdoors, with parts of the session held off the record.
