Google's Artificial Intelligence Risks and Security Strategies

Bertha Chan, Google's Head of Trust and Safety Global Engagements for Asia-Pacific, shared the company's efforts to mitigate artificial intelligence risks and strategies to combat deepfakes and online fraud.

Approach to Artificial Intelligence and Security

Based in Singapore, Bertha Chan stated that Google seeks ways to mitigate risks while simultaneously advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence. Chan emphasized that trust must be the foundation of all innovation and technology adoption.

Combating Digital Fraud

Chan's scope of responsibility also includes combating the constantly evolving online fraud industry, which adopts cutting-edge developments and especially deepfake production. The company aims to protect its users at every stage of their digital journey.

Google's email product, Gmail, prevents 90 percent of spam, phishing, and malware from reaching the inbox, and this approach is referred to as security by design.

Expert Staff and Research Teams

Google has deployed research teams aimed at creating policies and frameworks to protect children and families from dangerous and sexual content and to prevent fraud.

These experts consist of consultants specializing in a very broad range of fields such as developmental psychology, cultural anthropology, human development, youth culture and behaviors, and contribute to the development of products.
