About the Laboratory for AI Security Research (LASR)

AI represents a transformative opportunity for society. The wide-reaching benefits and gains from AI will only be realised through adoption at scale; confidence and trust in the technology is required and is only gained once security and safety concerns have been addressed.

LASR focuses on cutting-edge research, strategic alignment with national objectives and a commitment to social value and inclusivity. Its mission is to mitigate risks to AI, drive national resilience in AI skills and position the UK as a global leader in AI security and governance.

A public-private partnership, LASR fosters collaboration, integrating the best minds from academia, industry and government to develop innovative solutions, commercialise research outputs and strengthen international partnerships.

Launched by UK Government in November 2024, LASR comprises world-leading experts from organisations including Plexal, Oxford University, The Alan Turing Institute, Queen’s University Belfast, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and intelligence agencies to boost UK cyber resilience and foster growth.
