Bay Area Alignment Workshop

The Bay Area Alignment Workshop aims to bring together researchers and leaders to better understand potential risks from advanced AI systems and strategies for solving them. Machine learning researchers from academia, industry, governments, and nonprofit come together to debate and discuss topics such as threat models of AI risk, monitoring and assurance, governance and security, interpretability and robustness, and industry lab safety approaches.

As part of the Alignment Workshop Series, talks at the Bay Area Alignment Workshop build on the content from our highly-rated events in Vienna (2024) and New Orleans (2023), sharing progress in the field since then. Given our positive experience with an invite-only model, around 150 attendees have been hand-selected with guidance from our program committee. Presentations will be made freely available online on our YouTube channel, where we build a large and publicly accessible repository of high-quality content which we also disseminate via social media.
