1st Workshop on Critical AI Safety
📅 Thursday, 1 October 2026 → Friday, 2 October 2026 in 110 days
A two-day interdisciplinary workshop in Copenhagen gathering scholars who critically examine the field of AI safety and AI existential-risk research. Expect close engagement with the assumptions, methods and politics behind safety discourse rather than a vendor showcase.
The Center for Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (CPAI) at the University of Copenhagen hosts the first Critical AI Safety Workshop on 1-2 October 2026. The workshop convenes scholars from philosophy, computer science and the social sciences to map, characterise and critique the AI safety and existential-risk research landscape.
Sessions probe questions such as whether AI safety functions as an ideology, what assumptions underpin the field, how funding flows shape its agenda, and how its policy proposals are formed. Confirmed talks include contributions from researchers such as Shazeda Ahmed and Mollie Gleiberman.
The format is paper-driven and discussion-heavy, making it well suited to researchers who want a substantive, critical conversation about how AI risk is framed.
