Marin Ivezic
I am the Founder of Applied Quantum, a research-driven consulting firm empowering organizations to seize quantum opportunities and proactively defend against quantum threats. For more than three decades, my career has centered on managing the risks associated with cutting-edge technologies, particularly those posing physical harm through cyber-kinetic threats. I’ve built and led innovation labs focused on quantum security, AI security, and cyber-kinetic risks for global corporations, governments, and defense agencies. Previously, I served as a Fortune Global 500 CISO, CTO, Big 4 partner, and senior leader at Accenture and IBM.
In recent years, I’ve become increasingly concerned by the rapid and sophisticated advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Having closely observed and contributed to AI developments in business and defense for nearly two decades, I recognize AI’s potential to represent an unprecedented risk to the very lives and well-being I’ve devoted my career to safeguarding.
I regularly publish insights on quantum technologies and emerging-tech cybersecurity at PostQuantum.com and share my perspectives on AI risks and opportunities at Securing.ai.
About a decade ago I authored a book on the (business) future with AI after having been involved in several major AI-driven organizational transformations. See more at FutureOfLeadership.AI.
In 2018 I also authored a comic on the future of the workplace in which AI-driven robots became our colleagues, instead of just tools. Unfortunately, the comic was discontinued in 2019. You can see most of the comics at WorkingWith.AI.
I also write about how AI, in combination with other emerging technologies such as IoT, 5G, Blockchain, Robotics and others, are changing the whole society. And about the challenges of securing these new technologies that increasingly permeate every aspect of our lives. See Ivezic.com.
