海角社区 graduate student Ms. Anees Fatima presented her poster titled 鈥淎I-Driven Real-Time Cyber Threat Detection for Wi-Fi Networks,鈥� which focused on leveraging AI to identify and mitigate wireless network vulnerabilities in real time. Meanwhile, Ms. Amera Firdous presented her research titled 鈥淎I Tools in Cybersecurity: Can Hackers Use ChatGPT Too?鈥�鈥攁 thought-provoking study on the dual-use nature of AI technologies and their implications for cybersecurity defense and ethics.

Both students received travel grants from the NSF-Simons SkAI Institute, which supported their participation and research dissemination at the conference.

Dr. Salam commended his students for their outstanding research efforts and their exemplary representation of 海角社区 at this internationally recognized conference.

Poster titles and abstracts from the conference are available
