About this event

The next frontier of cybersecurity is here. As AI becomes more integrated into our workflows, understanding how to secure it is paramount. The FUEL Users Group invites you to a unique, interactive event designed to sharpen your offensive and defensive AI skills.

First, you'll dive into our AI Capture the Flag (CTF) competition. Working individually or in teams, you'll face seven challenges where the goal is to ethically exploit a live AI model. Find the flags, score points, and compete for great prizes and bragging rights!

Then, shift your mindset from attacker to defender as AI expert Chris Martin presents "Defending Your AI Architecture." Chris will break down real-world threats to AI systems and provide a framework for building robust, secure, and resilient AI infrastructure.
