OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Cybersecurity and AI: Threats, opportunities, and the state of play
Postgraduate students, fellows, staff and faculty from any discipline are welcome.

Remote attendance is possible, but in-person attendance is prioritized (and provided refreshment).
Abstract: This talk will describe the primary cybersecurity threats arising from AI systems, especially important cybersecurity threats to AI systems, how we might mitigate these threats via information sharing mechanisms, and how to harness the cybersecurity opportunities that arise from contemporary AI systems.
