Workshop
Hacking the Hacker: AI vs AI in Cybersecurity

Date & Time: Friday, November 14, 2025 9:00 AM EST / 10: 00 PM SGT
Speaker: Shashvat Shukla โ€” PhD Researcher at UCL, Consulting Partner at The Quantum Insider, and member of the Singapore AI Safety Hub
Register here: [Zoom Registration Link]

Why this matters: As AI evolves, so do the threats it introduces โ€” and the tools it gives us to defend against them. This talk dives deep into real-world AI attacks, defenses, and privacy challenges in the age of large language models. Members will learn about:
- How AI systems can be jailbroken to leak sensitive data
- Emerging tools for vulnerability detection and automated defenses
- AI alignment and security implications of next-generation models

Itโ€™s a unique opportunity to gain cross-disciplinary insights at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and ethics โ€” directly from an academic researcher at the frontlines of AI safety.
โค1
Upcoming workshop by Global Talent Community (GTC):

1. AI vs. AI in Cybersecurity: Hacking the Hacker Led by a senior cybersecurity researcher specializing in adversarial AI and autonomous threat detection. Discover how modern cyberattacks increasingly involve AI systems attacking and defending in real time.

2. Seeing with AI: From 3D Models to Intelligent Vision Delivered by an applied computer vision scientist working on 3D perception and multimodal vision systems. Explore how AI interprets 3D structures, depth, and spatial environments to power next-generation vision applications.

3. AI in Hardware: Smarter Systems from Chips to Robots Presented by a former MIT researcher and Apple hardware systems engineer specializing in AI acceleration and robotics platforms. Understand the hardware foundations behind modern AI, from chip architecture to intelligent robotics systems.
