CCDP Research fellow Daryna Abbakumova took part in the international law conference The U.S. and International Law in a Changing World, held at Brunel University of London on 5 to 6 November 2025. She joined the panel on The U.S. between AI, Science and Technology, alongside speakers from Cambridge, Leicester, Northumbria, and the University of Cape Town. The first day was held in the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in central London and the second day at the Brunel University of London. The event was organised by the Dr. Solon Solomon from the Brunel Law School (Brunel University of London) and Dr. Saeed Bagheri from the University of Reading.

Her presentation examined the evolving U.S. position in the cyberspace, exploring how its approaches to offensive and defensive cyber operations have changed, considering Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and how AI is reshaping the future of cyber warfare. I also highlighted the urgent need for continued international cooperation and norm-building in this rapidly developing area.
