We are also working with the wider research community, AI developers and other governments to affect how AI is developed and to shape global policymaking on this issue. ...................................................................................................................................................... AISI is hosting an industry engagement on Wednesday 19th March 2025 in Stratford, London, UK, which will introduce the AI Security Institute, with opportunities for suppliers to meet AISI teams and industry colleagues for networking.
