London Alignment Workshop
Taking place in London on 2–3 March, 2026, this workshop serves as a successor to the Alignment Workshops held in San Diego, Singapore, Vienna, New Orleans and San Francisco. Bringing together global leaders in academia and industry, our goal is to deepen our collective understanding of the potential risks from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and collaboratively explore effective strategies for mitigating these risks.
The program features expert presentations, breakout discussions, and opportunities for one-on-one conversations. This workshop brings together researchers from UK AI Safety Institute, EU AI Office, frontier lab safety teams, and leading universities.
Our speakers include keynotes from Rohin Shah, Gillian Hadfield, and Allan Dafoe, alongside technical talks from Vincent Conitzer, Owain Evans, Marius Hobbhahn, and researchers addressing model evaluations, interpretability, AI governance, and emerging risks.
Event Context
The Alignment Workshop series brings together top machine learning researchers and practitioners from industry, academia, and government. The workshop focuses on discussing and debating critical topics related to AI alignment, enabling participants to better understand potential risks from advanced AI, and strategies for solving them. Key issues discussed include model evaluations, interpretability, robustness, and AI governance.
