Join us for Cybersecurity Horizons 2026, UM-Flint’s third-annual cybersecurity symposium, hosted by Dr. Khalid Malik, director of the Center for Cybersecurity.
Dr. Malik has assembled some of Michigan’s top minds in technology, media, law, and public policy to examine one of the most urgent questions of our time: can democratic systems withstand the rise of synthetic media?
- Session 1 dives into AI’s role in national security, vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure, and audio forensics, featuring:
- Jennifer E. Tisdale (NDIA)
- Rada Mihalcea (UM-Ann Arbor)
- Hafiz Malik (UM-Dearborn)
- Session 2 turns to biometric systems, disinformation risks, and trust in democratic processes, featuring:
- Arun Ross (Michigan State University)
- Barbara McQuade (UM Law School)
- Paul Resnick (UM School of Information)
The day wraps with a panel discussion, “Deepfakes & Democracy: Real Threat or Overhyped Fear?”, featuring Resnick, McQuade, Mihalcea, and Hafiz Malik.
