On May 4th, the White House announced the AI Village at DEF CON's Generative AI Red Team and their participation, followed by announcements from the House and Senate AI Caucus leadership and the National Science Foundation.

In this panel, we'll hear from top officials and executives about how they're balancing the explosion of creativity and entrepreneurship from the advent of GenAI with the known & unknown risks of deployment at scale.

We'll also hear how this exercise is viewed as a model for enhancing trust & safety through democratizing AI education. Panelists will also discuss why it's meaningful to bring together thousands of people from different communities to conduct the exercise across the available AI models.

DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied, and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.
