Advancing knowledge. Driving growth. Securing the future of AI.

Opportunities at LASR focus on collaborating to advance AI security research and leverage commercial advantage through partnerships.

AI Supply Chain Security

Pre‑trained models and complex dependencies can introduce hidden risks. Strengthening supply chains supports safer, more trustworthy AI.

Agentic AI Security

As AI systems grow more capable, they face greater exposure to misuse or attack. Strong security foundations help maintain trust in real‑world use.

AI Infrastructure Security

AI depends on secure compute, networks and access controls. Protecting these layers helps ensure AI systems operate safely, reliably and at scale.

Academia, industry, and government work together
