University Lecture Report: Information Security and AI (2025.06.16)
I delivered a guest lecture at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University, on the theme of “The Importance and Practice of Information Security.” This was a continuation from the previous year, made possible through personal connections, and provided a valuable opportunity to convey the intersection of security, privacy, and AI to students who will shape the next generation.
Key Topics
- Fundamental concepts of information security (the CIA triad, etc.)
- Real-world security operations and role division (technology, monitoring, analysis, incident response, etc.)
- Lessons from ransomware cases: Management and ethical decision-making frameworks
- The intersection of AI evolution and security (zero trust, responding to AI threats)
- Using SageMaker as a case study: “Explainable AI (XAI)” and international trends in transparency and accountability
- Security certifications and career development (CISSP, CEH, RISS, etc.)
Student Response: Change and Learning
This year, the heightened interest in “AI” was particularly striking. The majority of Q&A was about generative AI and AI risks, and I could see that students were actively using ChatGPT while simultaneously approaching it with a healthy skepticism.
Meanwhile, perspectives on security varied among individuals, with differences such as:
- Optimistic view: “If you know the methods, you can prevent it”
- Practical, cautious view: “Reality isn’t that simple”
Recognizing these differences, I was reminded once again that security education is not merely about conveying knowledge — its essence lies in forming the ability to think: “How do I perceive risk, and how do I make decisions?”
Reflections from the Lecture
Fields such as security, privacy, and AI ethics are relevant to everyone, regardless of whether they are in the sciences or humanities. Through this lecture, I felt that I was able to create an opportunity for students who had thought “this has nothing to do with me” to begin thinking of it as something personally relevant.
Going forward, I want to continue serving as a bridge between the field and academia through activities that connect practice with education.
