Overview
This edition of the Alignment Workshop took place in Seoul on July 6, following prior gatherings in San Diego, Singapore, Vienna, New Orleans, San Francisco, and London. It brought together global leaders in academia and industry with the goal to deepen our collective understanding of the potential risks from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and collaboratively explore effective strategies for mitigating these risks.
The Alignment Workshop series convenes top machine learning researchers, AI practitioners, and policy experts to discuss and debate critical issues in AI alignment. The goal is to enable participants to better understand the technical and societal risks associated with advanced AI systems, and to identify promising directions for research and coordination. Core topics typically include model evaluations, interpretability, robustness, scalable oversight, and AI governance.
