Panel Discussion: Frontier AI and the New Cyber Arms Race
Audience: Public Format: In PersonJoin us for a discussion on frontier artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, hosted with Royal Holloway.
Friday, 29 May 2026, 4pm to 6pm
Join us for a panel discussion on frontier artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, hosted in conjunction with the Royal Holloway, University of London. As frontier AI systems rapidly advance, they are reshaping the cyber domain by accelerating vulnerability discovery, enabling autonomous operations, and compressing the timelines of both attack and defense. This panel brings together experts from academia, industry, and policy to examine how AI is altering the balance between offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and what this means for escalation dynamics, deterrence, and strategic stability. The discussion will explore emerging risks, from AI-enabled exploit generation to the erosion of traditional security assumptions, while assessing the governance, technical safeguards, and international cooperation required to manage this evolving threat landscape.
