AI Safety Forum 2026

A two-day University of Sydney forum bringing together research, government, industry and civil society on AI safety.

AI Safety Forum 2026 is a two-day interdisciplinary event grounded in the science of AI safety and informed by the International AI Safety Report. 

Since the 2024 forum, a major new edition of the International AI Safety Report has been published, Australia is establishing its AI Safety Institute, and the government has released the National AI Plan. The 2026 Forum builds on this momentum by gathering people across disciplinary lines to catalyse collaborations and advance the field in Australia.

Over two days, researchers, policymakers and practitioners will come together for a mix of presentations, workshops and structured discussions designed to build relationships, learn about the frontier of AI safety, surface disagreement, and move the field forward in Australia. You don't need to be a technical researcher to contribute; you just need to be willing to engage seriously, with curiosity and epistemic humility, on questions that don't yet have clear answers.
