Cybersecurity industry leaders gathered at an Axios Expert Voices roundtable in San Francisco to discuss the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Participants including Sophos global head of government partnerships Alex Rose and Coalition VP Sezaneh Seymour warned that AI adoption is outpacing governance frameworks, creating significant risk management challenges. Alex Rose noted that many companies are accepting AI-related risks as 'the cost of doing business.' Optro CMO April Crichlow emphasized that the industry is 'at an inflection point' in the AI landscape. Seymour highlighted that while public discourse focuses on who should regulate AI, the more important question is how AI should be regulated.
