The AI Summit at Black Hat USA 2025 is a one-day conference focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Hosted in partnership with the Black Hat security conference, it will take place on 5 August 2025 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event equips cybersecurity professionals with knowledge to harness AI for defence while understanding risks posed by adversarial AI. The agenda features keynotes by security researchers and AI scientists, sessions on ML for anomaly detection, automated vulnerability scanning and improved security analytics, and panels on the ethics of autonomous offensive tools, model poisoning and securing AI systems.
Hands-on workshops teach building and testing AI-powered security tools, including deep-learning models for malware classification and NLP for phishing detection. The summit explores regulatory developments for AI in cybersecurity, including transparency, explainability and compliance, with input from government and standards bodies.
A Generative AI track highlights both defensive applications and social-engineering risks. Networking includes roundtables, an AI-enhanced CTF and a focused expo area.
Co-location with Black Hat USA enables attendees to stay for additional trainings and briefings. The 2025 edition aims to deliver actionable insights that security teams can apply immediately to strengthen defences.
