This Week
Responsible AI Symposium 2026
Friday, June 26th | 1:00 - 6:00PM | Playa Vista
Safety isn't a single problem with a single solution. It's a spectrum—from the alignment researcher stress-testing model behavior, to the actor protecting their digital likeness, to the parent wondering what AI is teaching their kid about connection and loneliness.
At the 9th Annual Responsible AI Symposium, we're examining The Many Faces of Safety—the idea that building a resilient AI future requires us to hold all of these perspectives at once. Across tracks in health, policy, media & entertainment, and safety research, we'll explore what it means to design systems, laws, and norms that protect people across every dimension of their lives.
Join us for speaker sessions during the day and an offsite after party to meet fellow speakers and attendees (registration available after securing your spot to the afternoon sessions).
