Introduction
The Women in AI Security Workshop is being organised by researchers from the Alan Turing Institute's Laboratory for AI Security Research (LASR) and the Defence AI Research (DARe) Centre. The event will showcase prominent women working in AI security, safety, governance, and cyber-adjacent fields, bringing together experts across government, academia, and industry. This workshop is part of an ongoing effort to grow an inclusive and diverse AI security community, and is open to all.
For this event, LASR will be offering an access and participation fund to cover additional costs to support individuals who may face barriers or hardship in engaging and participating in the Women in AI Security Workshop.
About the event
Join us for this full day event, which will include a mixture of panel sessions, technical talks from prominent AI security researchers and an opportunity to take part in smaller round table discussions.
