Hidden Dangers of AI: What You Don’t See CAN Hurt You

Time/Location: Monday, March 9 | 1:35 - 1:50 PM | HIMSS Cybersecurity Forum

Artificial Intelligence is transforming healthcare and security operations, but its potential risks can remain dangerously overlooked. This session sheds light on the hidden dangers organizations face when implementing AI tools – whether leveraging generative AI, agentic AI, or building proprietary large language models (LLMs). Attendees will learn how “Shadow AI” usage – the adoption of AI applications without proper governance or visibility – can lead to unintended vulnerabilities like data leakage, sensitive prompt exposure, or unauthorized external access.
