AI and Cyber Security Association
The AI and Cyber Security Association (AICSA) exists to ensure that AI and security evolve together in a way that is safe, ethical, and effective. We unite experts, policymakers, and innovators to protect digital systems, build trust in AI, ensure security in AI and shape the global policy environment.
Our Mission
To champion innovation, set best practices, advance professional development, and uphold the highest ethical standards in AI and cyber security. We work to shape forward-thinking policies, foster collaboration, and equip professionals and organisations with the knowledge, tools, and influence needed to safeguard the integrity of AI and cyber security worldwide.
Our Vision
To be recognised globally as the foremost authority driving innovation, security, and resilience where cyber security and AI converge.
About the AI and Cyber Security Association (AICSA)
The AI and Cyber Security Association (AICSA) is the world’s first global membership body and trade association dedicated exclusively to the convergence of artificial intelligence and security.
Community is at the heart of everything we do, and we were founded on a simple but urgent belief that the rapid evolution of AI and the escalating complexity of cyber threats demand a unified, ethical, and forward-looking response from the global community. The AI and Cyber Security Association aims to raise awareness of the intersection of AI and security.
We do more than just connect people. We influence legislation, develop standards, publish original research and more. Our policy and advocacy work ensures that decision-makers are informed by expert insight, while our events and knowledge-sharing platforms give members the tools and networks they need to excel.
As a trusted voice at the AI–cyber intersection, AICSA stands for:
- Collaboration: Bringing together stakeholders across industry, academia, and government.
- Integrity: Advocating for ethical, transparent, and responsible use of AI.
- Resilience: Strengthening global capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from AI-enabled cyber threats.
- Leadership: Driving the agenda for secure and trustworthy AI worldwide.
From Westminster to Brussels, from Silicon Valley to Singapore, our influence spans continents because cyber threats and AI opportunities know no boundaries. We aim to ensure that AI-driven cyber security is shaped by expertise, ethics, and global cooperation. Whether it’s briefing policymakers or collaborating with international standards bodies, the AICSA is committed to building a unified, resilient, and trusted digital future for all.
