AFCEA London Chapter – November 2024 – Gp Capt (rtd) Rob Wright – Oxford Dynamics
AFCEA London Chapter – Face to Face Meeting
The AFCEA London Chapter meeting for November will take place on Thursday 7th, when Gp Capt (rtd) Rob Wright from Oxford Dynamics will be our guest speaker. The meeting will be preceded by a short AGM and election of AFCEA London Chapter Officers.
The title of Rob’s presentation will be “Avoiding an AI apocalypse: How can Defence procure and assure?”
Rob has a background in High Assurance network protection and now works for Oxford Dynamics, a provider of AI and robotics to MOD. He recently completed a secondment at the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT), where he worked on the Software supply chain Code of Practice, with its related AI Safety Code of Practice. Rob will provide insight from his recent experience, changes in technology and the codes of practice and the impact on how Defence and government can procure and assure their tools. Attendees can expect to learn lessons from the cyber front line and how it intersects with the physical world, drawing on lessons from conflict in the Middle East and how the benefits of open source software and AI can be realised at pace to help analysts and decision makers alike have more time to make better decisions when it really matters.
We are in the process of finalising details for the meeting venue and details will be posted shortly.
Bookings are now open. This is bound to be a topic that will interest a lot of people, so please register and pay promptly, as places are limited to a maximum of 60 attendees.
In the event that we are over-subscribed, we will operate a short waiting list.
The closing date is Friday 1st November.
