Cybersecurity, Fraud and Artificial Intelligence—"Mythos" Is Here!
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 1:00-4:30 p.m.
Technology – particularly artificial intelligence and quantum computing - continues to evolve at an accelerating pace. Organizations are struggling to keep up, subject, more and more, to the simultaneous, yet contradictory demands of:
- automation versus labour force retraining
- cost control versus investing in technology
- heightened customer service versus greater privacy and psychographic risk
- stronger security & due diligence versus newer systems that resist almost any type of oversight and control.
The pension and benefits ecosystem, from fund management to union membership, is not immune. In fact, in some ways, it is right in the middle of what seems to be a generational shift in . . . almost everything—the economy, the nature & value of work, social mobility, education, equity, safety, and yes, even the importance of human activity in our new age.
This workshop will not save the world. It will, however, attempt to explore these topics in a meaningful, understandable and inclusive way – fully engaging participants through presentations, cases studies, discussion, debates, tabletop scenarios and more. We will learn from each other in this session; there are few answers, but many questions.
Topics discussed will include:
- Cybersecurity and More
- Human and Non-Human Fraudsters
- Will (Can) the Laws Catch Up
- New Approaches to Management, Stewardship and Due Diligence
- Society, Economics and the Evolving Workforce.
Participants will learn about the impact of artificial intelligence on their businesses, professional practices, stakeholders and society in general. Particular emphasis will be placed on new cyber security threats, the rapidly changing nature of frauds, the AI legal and regulatory environment in Canada and globally, and the massive social, economic and union-member-related changes likely to arise as AI usage becomes more widespread.
