Dear Justine,
Following today’s CPWG meeting, I would like to express my support for “The Current and Coming Impact of Artificial Intelligence on DNS Abuse” (proposed by BC and SSAC), while suggesting a few refinements.
The current framing of AI-driven DNS abuse is strong; however, introducing a more balanced perspective that highlights how AI can also enhance detection, mitigation, and user protection would make the session more forward-looking and constructive. In addition, incorporating a clearer reference to its direct impact on end users—such as increased exposure to sophisticated phishing, implications for user trust, and potential privacy concerns—would better align the session with ICANN’s broader public interest mission.
These would be relatively minor adjustments, but they would help emphasize both the opportunities and risks of AI, as well as reinforce the role of ICANN in safeguarding end-user interests. This, in turn, would strengthen the proposal’s relevance across stakeholder groups—particularly ALAC—and enhance its overall value as a plenary topic.
Cheers,
Pari--
