The Vienna 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 current issues in AI safety, including topics within Guaranteed Safe AI & Robustness, Interpretability, and Governance & Evaluations. Leveraging the convening power of ICML, the Vienna Alignment Workshop is held the day before ICML. A day after the event, the participant-led Monday Unconference will take place to strengthen connections made during the workshop.

As part of the Alignment Workshop Series, talks at the Vienna Alignment Workshop build on the content from our highly-rated events in San Francisco 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 by 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.

All ICML attendees are welcome to attend our Vienna Alignment Workshop Open Social taking place on Sunday night after the event!
