AI x Biosecurity — LatchBio Benchmark Launch

This event is over, it happened on

July 16, 2026 at San Francisco in San Francisco, CA

We're launching RefusalBench, a new benchmark probing how well frontier models handle biosecurity-related questions. Come for the following: Technical talks on the challenges of evaluating frontier AI for biosecurity, followed by a social. Biosecurity themed food and drinks provided. We've been heads-down on biosecurity at Latch for a while now, and we're excited to finally open up and share what we've been building. This space is still small, and we think it's stronger when it's shared - so we're opening our doors to people from frontier labs , biotech, and the broader AI safety community to come hear the talks, meet the people already working in it, and see where we've landed. We'll hear from: [Speakers TBD] 6:00 – 7:00 Meet others. Eat + drink 7:00 – 8:00 Talks + Q&A 8:00 – 9:00 Socialize
Date: July 16, 2026 Time: 6:00 PM 9:00 PM
