AI x Biosecurity — LatchBio Benchmark Launch
We're launching RefusalBench and SurveillanceBench, two new benchmarks probing how well frontier models handle biosecurity-related questions. Come for the following:
Technical talks on the challenges of biosecurity, followed by a social.
Biosecurity themed food and drinks provided.
We've been heads-down on biosecurity at Latch for a while now, and we're excited to finally open up and share what we've been building. This space is still small, and we think it's stronger when it's shared - so we're opening our doors to people from frontier labs , biotech, and the broader AI safety community to come hear the talks, meet the people already working in it, and see where we've landed.
Agenda:
6:00 – 6:30 Meet others. Eat + drink
6:30 – 8:00 Talks + Q&A
8:00 – 9:00 Socialize
We'll hear from:
