Signal Laboratory for AI Security Research announced in 2024

Summary

In 2024 the UK announced a new Laboratory for AI Security Research. The programme partners with leading experts from UK universities, the intelligence agencies and industry, and aims to strengthen Britain's cyber resilience while supporting growth. The report lists it with the AI Security Institute and the NHS AI Lab as mitigations related to AI. The backdrop is concern that AI progress may heighten cyber attack risks and lower the barrier to entry for new threat actors. The report suggests that measures to assure AI could also help detect illicit online material, strengthen national security, predict hazards and support disaster recovery.
