The Vienna Alignment Workshop brought together researchers and leaders from around the world, facilitating a better understanding of potential risks from advanced AI systems and strategies for solving them. Machine learning researchers from academia, industry, governments, and nonprofits 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 enabled attendees to strengthen connections made during the workshop.

As part of the Alignment Workshop Series, talks at Vienna built 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 were hand-selected by our program committee. For those who were unable to attend, presentations are now freely available online on our YouTube channel, where we build a large and publicly accessible repository of high-quality content about AI Alignment.
