Since May 2022, Tobias Häberlein serves as head of the Department of Computer Science at the FFHS, and head of the “AI in Teaching” working group. He is the author of several textbooks on programming and algorithms and has many years of experience in higher education administration, including three years as vice rector for teaching and four years as vice rector for continuing education.

Generative AI has evolved from an assistive tool into an autonomous actor. This talk explores the capabilities of current models, how agentic AI is transforming the way organizations operate, and why context engineering is becoming a critical competency. 

As AI capabilities continue to advance, security leaders are facing new opportunities as well as new challenges. The session examines how current developments in generative AI may influence cybersecurity, governance, risk management, and organizational decision-making. At the same time, it highlights emerging risks associated with increasingly capable AI systems and discusses recent developments that illustrate the growing real-world impact of advanced models.

In this session Tobias Häberlein provides an up-to-date perspective on the state of AI and explores the implications for CISOs, security leaders, and governance teams as organizations adapt to an increasingly AI-driven landscape.
