In a way it’s because they have been running an exclusive club for a long time. They seem to almost indulge in designing sessions and proposals without different perspectives and voices. Even some of these deeply fanatic organizations changed over time and we don’t have to remind them about having women experts or people from other geographies because they naturally do so but these people won’t.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt">Description:<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">This plenary is intended to educate the ICANN community on the rapidly emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in accelerating and transforming DNS abuse. While still in early stages, AI is poised to
significantly increase the speed, scale, and sophistication of abuse campaigns, fundamentally changing the threat landscape facing the DNS ecosystem.AI is not only increasing the velocity and volume of attacks but also lowering the barrier to entry. AI-assisted
tools now enable individuals with limited technical expertise to design and launch complex abuse campaigns that previously required specialized knowledge. As a result, the risk is no longer limited to well-resourced threat actors; smaller and less sophisticated
actors can now generate highly effective phishing, domain generation, impersonation, and infrastructure abuse at scale. This shift represents a structural change in DNS abuse dynamics. AI is improving the quality and effectiveness of attacks, enabling rapid
content generation, automated infrastructure </span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black">creation, and adaptive targeting that can outpace traditional detection and mitigation approaches.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
