Rice Business Partners' Thought Leadership Series Discussion with Nestor J. Rivera

The Intersection of AI, Privacy and Cybersecurity: Creating Future-Ready Leaders

As adoption of AI continues to accelerate faster than laws, regulations and governance are capable of being implemented, it is important to reflect and reconcile the myriad of challenges and benefits presented by this technological advancement.  Just because you can leverage AI in a particular situation doesn’t necessarily mean you should.  Yet, resistance to adoption is counter-productive and can leave you trailing your peers, potential customers and business competitors.  How do you strike the right balance?  What does the historical development of privacy and cybersecurity laws and standards inform us about how AI will likely be regulated?  How do you embrace AI in a way that enables you to be a Future-Ready Leader? 

Thought Leadership events provide a unique opportunity to engage with Rice Business Partners, alumni, and distinguished leaders from across Houston’s business community. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, exchange ideas, and foster relationships in a setting designed to encourage meaningful connections. The registration will close at 5 p.m. CT on November 30, 2026.
