ITU Workshop on Generative AI: Challenges and Opportunities for Security and Privacy

19 Feb 2024

Geneva, Switzerland and online

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)​​ is organising an ITU Workshop on Generative AI: Challenges and Opportunities for Security and Privacy at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 19 February 2024.

The workshop aims to identify and provide a comprehensive overview of the benefits, security, and privacy concerns associated with generative AI. It will focus on the far-reaching technical, legal, regulatory, and social implications of large generative AI models. The event will bring together leading scholars to discuss these implications and the opportunities and challenges for AI in this domain. The workshop is part of ITU’s efforts to address the security and privacy aspects of emerging technologies, particularly in the field of AI. The workshop is organised by the ITU-T Study Group 17, which is dedicated to security-related standardization work.

The objectives of the workshop include:

  • Identifying and providing a comprehensive overview of the benefits as well as the security and privacy concerns associated with generative AI-based applications;
  • Identifying technical and organisational security and privacy controls to mitigate the identified threats; 
  • Facilitating the exchange of current activities within relevant SDOs and other organisations on addressing security and privacy for generative AI-based applications; and
  • Identify potential ways forward for future work in ITU-T Study Group 17 in this area.
