AI Safety & Cybersecurity: Warmup for the Global South Hackathon
AI safety research is concentrated in a handful of countries. The risks aren't.
On June 19-21, the Global South AI Safety Hackathon brings together researchers, engineers, and policy professionals from Latin America, Africa, and Asia to work on the problems the field has been slow to address. 328 sign-ups. 8 local hubs across 3 continents.
$6,000 in prizes across 6 winning teams, with top projects invited into the Apart Fellowship for continued research and mentorship.
Before that weekend of building, we're creating space at the Hub for the conversation that frames it.
Zeugh @theZeugh, Head of Research at blockful and organizer of the first OpenClaw Meetup in Latin America, will open the conversation on AI safety and cybersecurity: what these mean in practice, how they intersect, and why builders in this region have a distinct perspective to bring. The floor is open - come ready to participate.
💬 What this is about
It's a space to talk about what AI safety looks like when you're building in the Global South: the cybersecurity dimension, the regulatory landscape, the specific gaps that research concentrated in a handful of countries tends to miss, and what participating in a hackathon like this one actually involves.
Come with questions. Come even if you're not registered for the hackathon yet.
🗓️ How it works
6:00pm We gather at the Hub
7:00pm Community talk
Afterwards Networking
You're also welcome to spend the day working from Ethereum Hub before the event. Bring your laptop, work from the space, and stay for the conversation.
💚 Who should come?
This is for people who care about AI: builders, researchers, students, engineers, policy people, and anyone curious about AI safety or thinking about joining the hackathon. You don't need to come with all the answers. Just come curious.
We're opening it with friends from blockful, Base, Acelera IA, and the ETH Floripa community ✨
