Event Details

On the 29th – 30th July 2024, Lancaster University is hosting the first international conference on Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security.

This is the very first event of its kind and it could not come at a more critical time. In today’s digital age, cyber security has emerged as a heightened priority for both individual users and organisations. With the surge in online information, new innovative solutions are required to address the challenge of tradition security measures falling short against evolving threats.

NLPAICS 2024 will bring researchers, academics, and business industry leaders together as they hear the latest solutions to address risks in processing digital information. It will explore a range of themes around the employment of NLP and AI for cyber security training including:

· Societal and human security and safety

· Anomaly detection and threat intelligence

· Systems and infrastructure security

· Ethics, bias, and legislation in cyber security

The conference will also have a special theme track with the goal of stimulating discussion on the future of cyber security in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI. Delegates will examine the challenges, risks and safety issues associated with employing these models in everyday tasks, focusing on aspects including fairness, ethics, and responsibility.

Confirmed speakers include:

· Nigel Hardacre, Lancashire Constabulary

· Sevil Şen, Hacettepe University
