Understanding company risk appetites and the rise of the Chief AI Officer
Description *
As the AI security conversation continues to evolve, it’s important to keep engaging in the dialogue and our LASR Lates session in Manchester brought together the following speakers to do just that: 
  • Ruby Motabhoy – Senior Lead, National Security, Plexal (Moderator) 
  • Simon Cook – Professor in Practice, Data & Cyber Research, Lancaster University 
  • Matt Squire – CTO, Fuzzy Labs 
  • Sarah Schlobohm – Chief AI Officer, zally 


“This conversation couldn’t come at a better time, where the opportunities that AI presents are in a fine balance with the potential risks this evolving technology is introducing,” Ruby kicked off.


“At the start of the year we saw the government’s rollout of the Plan for Change focused on mainlining AI into public services and driving efficiencies. Shortly after, the UK’s AI Safety Institute renamed to the AI Security Institute, reflecting the global threat landscape, where hostile actors may look to use AI to target our core institutions and ways of life. I’m delighted to be joined by a fantastic panel to look at this from all angles and identify the opportunities for the wider ecosystem to get involved with one of the biggest technological evolutions in our lifetime.”
