About the AI Cyber Alliance
The AI Cyber Alliance is a community for practitioners, researchers, founders, engineers, students, and technical leaders exploring the future of AI and cybersecurity together.
As AI transforms both attack and defence, we bring together voices from industry, startups, government, academia, and the open source community to share practical knowledge, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another. Our meetups are built around technical talks, real-world research, and peer-to-peer conversations that help move the industry forward.
Whether you're an experienced security leader or just beginning your journey, you'll find a welcoming community of people passionate about AI security.
