The Dark Side of Intelligence: How AI Supercharges Cyber Threats

As AI capabilities advance, so do the tactics of cybercriminals who exploit them. In this session, Corey L. Kirkendoll—President & CEO of 5K Technical Services, Vice Chair of the AI Advisory Council for GTIA, Global Council Member for Responsible AI, and AICerts Authorized Training Partner—breaks down the emerging AI-powered threat landscape with real-world clarity.

Drawing on over three decades of experience in cybersecurity and AI deployment for SMBs and enterprises, Corey exposes how AI is being weaponized—from deepfake impersonations and automated phishing at scale, to prompt injection, model inversion, and data poisoning techniques that traditional defenses can’t catch.

This session is ideal for CISOs, IT leaders, and cybersecurity professionals looking to understand the full spectrum of AI threats—and prepare their organizations to fight back.
