Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are moving from emerging concepts to technologies with significant implications for cybersecurity, government policy, critical infrastructure, and national security. This session will examine the legal and regulatory challenges created by increasingly sophisticated AI systems and the potential impact of quantum computing on existing encryption and security frameworks. Drawing on experience advising government leaders on AI, cybersecurity, emerging technology, and post-quantum cryptography, the speakers will explore how organizations should evaluate these risks and prepare for a technology landscape in which traditional security assumptions may no longer hold.

Corey M. BieberThe expansion of cryptocurrency, blockchain, decentralized finance, and digital assets has created a rapidly evolving intersection between financial innovation, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and national security. This session will examine the legal and enforcement landscape surrounding digital assets, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing obligations, sanctions, cybercrime, decentralized finance, and government investigations. The discussion will also connect cryptocurrency risks to the broader technology landscape explored in Session 1, including cybersecurity vulnerabilities, digital identity, emerging technologies, and the government’s increasing focus on protecting the financial system from sophisticated technology-enabled threats. Sanjeev’s background includes serving as U.S. Digital Currency Counsel at DOJ and advising on DeFi investigations, AML/CFT, OFAC sanctions, and digital-asset litigation strategy.
