[un]prompted.au — AI × Cybersecurity Conference, Sydney, 18–19 September 2026

[un]prompted.au is an AI-focused security research conference — an Australian edition of the US-based Unprompted conference. Based in Sydney, [un]prompted.au sits at the intersection of state-of-the-art AI and Cybersecurity research, with an emphasis on how the field is evolving and where it is heading.

The conference convenes practitioners actively reshaping security workflows in the cyber world where AI is playing a major role — for vulnerability researchers, exploit developers, red/blue teamers, and malware analysts integrating AI to scale analysis, accelerate discovery, and move toward more automated forms of research. Alongside them, researchers and engineers from frontier AI labs provide insight into how these systems are designed, how their capabilities are developing, and the security implications of that trajectory.

The program extends beyond security into core AI research: the techniques, tools, and systems that are redefining what is possible — from automated research workflows to advances in inference, optimisation, and model behaviour.

We intend to continually expand our reach across the broader AI community (touching governance and infrastructure particularly) as the conference grows.
