Description
This panel will explore how frontier AI models are changing the cyber threat landscape, and what that means for defenders across government and industry. Speakers from government, leading frontier AI developers and the Australian AI Safety Institute will share insights on using AI to strengthen cyber defence, testing new capabilities before release, and securing Australia's access to the most advanced models.
The discussion will highlight real world examples of AI enabled attack and defence, and how organisations of every size, including small businesses and not for profits, can keep up with the pace of change.
