• AI Security - Meet the Chiefs Invitation Event

  • When
    17 Jun 2026
  • Location
    Commonwealth Club

  I

  'm writing to invite you or a representative to a discussion over lunch at the Commonwealth Club on AI Security measures being adopted in U.S. Government Agencies and the Pentagon.

  I’ve arranged two AI Security experts from TrendAI to visit Canberra on Wednesday, 17 June while in-transit from Melbourne to Sydney.

  They are:

  • Jon Clay, TrendAI VP Global Threat Intelligence who has recently returned after working with the U.S. government; and
  • Dr Sean Park, Principal Threat Researcher at TrendAI, based in Sydney.

  The format is lunch at the Commonwealth Club for 15 invitees. Timing 1215 for 1230, conclusion I expect around 1400. Jon will share his U.S. experience and its relevance to Australian Government Agencies and the ADF. I’ve been asked to say it’s not a sales pitch, but a genuine desire to share recent experiences.
