Day Two

Panel Discussion

Threats and opportunities of AI, discuss

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various aspects of airport operations, offering unprecedented efficiency gains, enhanced security measures and improved passenger experiences. However, alongside its promising advancements, AI also presents challenges and potential risks that must be addressed. In this session, we seek to explore the multifaceted impacts of AI adoption in airport environments, fostering a nuanced discussion on the opportunities it presents and the threats it poses. In this panel, discuss:

How can AI-driven technologies, such as facial recognition and behavioural analytics, strengthen security measures at airports? What are the implications for privacy and data protection?
In what ways can AI-powered solutions enhance the passenger experience, from personalised wayfinding to real-time flight updates and seamless check-in processes?
What are the cyber-security vulnerabilities associated with AI systems in airports, and how can they be mitigated to prevent potential threats, such as data breaches or system manipulation?
