Women in Blockchain: AI Security & Governance
This panel spotlights women leading the evolution of blockchain security and governance, highlighting their technical contributions, global insights, and institutional leadership across decentralized ecosystems. As AI‑powered analysis becomes increasingly central to identifying vulnerabilities, modeling adversarial behavior, and evaluating governance mechanisms, women experts are shaping how these tools are applied responsibly and effectively in real‑world blockchain systems.
Panelists will discuss emerging practices in smart‑contract auditing, protocol‑level threat modeling, large language models (LLMs), and agent‑based simulations. They will also examine how inclusive governance design, diverse research perspectives, and equitable participation strengthen the resilience and legitimacy of decentralized networks. The conversation addresses responsible‑use considerations, transparency requirements, and safeguards needed when AI influences critical security or governance decisions.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how women are driving innovation at the intersection of blockchain, security, governance, and AI.
