The partnership seeks to unite industry, academia and HMG experts in the pursuit of supporting the development of safe AI systems. The partnership includes Government departments, as well as experts and research teams from Plexal, University of Oxford, The Alan Turing Institute and Queen’s University Belfast.
LASR will be dedicated to exploring vulnerabilities in AI tools and the wider cyber ecosystem, and will collaborate with other national and international organizations to enhance cyber defense and grow the economy by commercializing viable research outputs.
The lab will also support research into AI systems by supporting ten doctoral students from the University of Oxford in their research into AI and Machine Learning security. LASR is also expected to advance safeguards and explore how to detect inference within AI.
The partnership was initially announced at the NATO Cyber Defense Conference by Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden. As part of the announcement the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster said, “The lab will pull together world-class industry, academic and government experts to assess the impact of AI on our national security.”.
