A public-private partnership dedicated to advancing AI security

Laboratory for AI Security Research (LASR)       

LASR is a UK public-private partnership dedicated to mitigating AI security risks for UK national security and economic prosperity.

AI represents a transformative opportunity for society, but its full potential and widespread benefits will only be unlocked through adoption at scale. Fostering confidence and trust in the technology is essential and depends on effectively addressing AI security concerns.

Launched by UK government in November 2024 at the NATO Cyber Defence Conference, LASR is a UK public-private initiative dedicated to mitigating the risks to and from AI to drive national resilience and foster growth.
