San Diego Alignment Workshop
San Diego Alignment Workshop took place on Monday, December 1 -Tuesday, December 2 immediately prior to the start of NeurIPS 2025 serving as a successor to the Alignment Workshops held in Singapore, San Francisco Bay Area, 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 featured expert presentations, breakout discussions, and opportunities for one-on-one conversations. We especially welcome researchers and engineers interested in discussions addressing critical challenges in AI alignment.
Our speakers included world-renowned AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio, former White House Special Advisor on AI Ben Buchanan, and frontier company research leads Sam Bowman (Anthropic), David Elson (Google DeepMind), Johannes Heidecke (OpenAI), and Alex Beutel (OpenAI).
Event Context
