Ben Kereopa-Yorke

At the intersection of AI security, cybersecurity innovation, and strategic risk management, I bring a unique blend of commercial acumen and academic rigor to the rapidly evolving field of AI implementation. 

My contributions have helped shape global AI security standards, influencing government frameworks worldwide. My research, published in the Journal of AI, Robotics & Workplace Automation and the Journal of Information Warfare, pushes the boundaries of AI and cybersecurity integration.

My roles as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society and member of the OpenAI Forum further cement my position in shaping the future of AI development and security.

My expertise spans AI/ML security, information security management systems, ISO 27001 implementation, and cloud security. Currently pursuing a Master's in Cyber Security, Strategy and Diplomacy at UNSW Canberra, I'm exploring innovative applications of chaos and game theory in quantifying AI system risks.

Passionate about fostering the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, I'm particularly committed to empowering women in tech through the Australian Women in Security Network, bridging the gender gap in this critical field.
