As we navigate the AI frontier, those who build applications, organizations, and products with security at the forefront will make truly sustainable progress.

Join Fort Collins AI for an essential conversation about the intersection of security (cyber or otherwise) and artificial intelligence in our increasingly connected world. As AI becomes more accessible through local
LLM deployments, APIs, and more exposed to customers and the public, understanding both the opportunities and security implications has never been more critical.

A big thank you to our pizza sponsor for this event: SureLink AI. More on this Fort Collins-based AI company, as well as our speakers, below!

What You'll Learn:

• Real-world cybersecurity challenges and solutions on protecting AI-integrated systems
• Using local LLMs to talk ala ChatGPT with your data, making it affordable, private, and environmentally conscious.
• How security considerations shape AI product decisions from conception to implementation
• Practical approaches for individuals and organizations adopting local AI solutions safely

Why This Matters:
Generative AI and LLMs offer opportunities for productivity across industries, but they also introduce new security considerations. Our speakers will explore how security principles, cyber or otherwise, apply to AI development, what threats to watch for, and how to build security into your AI workflows from the ground up.

Perfect for:
Developers, IT professionals, business leaders, and AI enthusiasts who want to understand both the technical and strategic aspects of secure AI implementation. We may dive a little into more technical topics this session, but we strive to make these meetings as accessible for non-developer enthusiasts as is feasible.
