Kenneth Nickerson (‘26,MD) • Big bodied kid with projection and intriguing stuff. His FB T81 with some cut and a VB north of 10 but the highlight is the 2-plane breaking CB that got swing and miss. Mid 60s offering north of 2000rpm #Uncommitted #DMVOpen @DMVProspectsBSB

Thanks to @OSCE & Malta 🇲🇹 for holding the conference and letting me beam in remotely (though I would have loved to see OSCE colleagues - and Malta - in person)!

[Malta at the OSCE @MTatOSCE]

Session 3 of the Conference on Cyber/ICT Security shed light on emerging risks & threats in cyberspace.

🔎 We explored rapidly evolving technologies like #AI, examining their impact on the @OSCE's work & their relevance for international security.

📍 These technologies offer opportunities but can also pose significant risks. Understanding and addressing these risks effectively requires #multilateral cooperation and shared regulations to ensure global #security and #stability.
