AI Incident Response Sprint
Join the Cape Town hub for the AI Incident Response Sprint hosted by Apart Research and CeSIA!
Have you been following the wild AI cybersecurity stories in the news - models escaping their sandboxes and breaking into servers they were never supposed to touch? Astounded by how little prevention or concern there's been, or how these capabilities get used as a marketing tool instead of a warning?
This three-day sprint is for you! It's open to everyone - no prior background in AI incident response, security, or research is required. You'll team up to turn what actually happened into things people can use - checklists, policy asks, detection tools, whatever helps catch the next one before it becomes a headline.
