Security Lab at AIES 2026

Several members of the UW Security Lab — along with several friends and alumni — attended and presented their work last week in Malmö, Sweden at the Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society. These included:

• PhD student Grace Brigham, presenting work on “Examining Risks Through a Characterization of the AI Companion Application Ecosystem: A Stratified Sample from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store” (with collaborators Lucy Qin and Yoshi Kohno)
• Faculty member Franzi Roesner, on behalf of PhD alum Tina Yeung, presenting work on “Is This AI? Longitudinal Analysis of Strategies Used for AI Detection on Two Subreddits” (with collaborators Galen Weld and Jaron Mink).
