Frontier AI Risks Explained for Policy Professionals

What does AI safety mean for policy professionals, and how can you get involved?

Join us for an informal evening of lightning talks for those interested in the role policy plays for AI safety. You’ll assess the current landscape and risks concerning frontier AI, hear from people working in the field, find where your expertise can make a difference, and build connections with those already shaping the work.

Why we're holding this event
From mitigating job displacement to holding AI labs accountable, making AI go well for humanity will require significant policy and regulatory change. This depends on decision-makers who understand the risks posed by powerful AI, how countries differ in their regulatory approaches, and which of these approaches are most likely to be effective.

Who should come
Policy advisers, civil servants, think tank researchers, regulators, and anyone interested in shaping technology policy.
