About Event
This is UK AI Forum's first speaker event of 2026! Alejandro Ortega will be speaking about a novel taxonomy and preparedness framework for dealing with loss-of-control situations. Despite increasing policy and research attention, existing LoC definitions vary significantly in scope and timeline, hindering effective LoC assessment and mitigation. To address this issue, Ortega and colleagues draw from an extensive literature review and propose a graded LoC taxonomy, based on the metrics of severity and persistence, that distinguishes between Deviation, Bounded LoC, and Strict LoC.
All are welcome - please bring friends! We'll order in lunch.
Location
Meridian Cambridge
53, 54 Sidney St, Cambridge CB2 3HX, UK
Meridian is located at 53-54 Sidney St, which is a little inconspicuous. Some advice: when you're walking down Sidney Street, find David Clulow (eyewear shop) and go down the lane that borders it. Once you find a door that says "53-54 Sidney St" above it, just head inside - the door will be on the latch! Meridian is located on the top floor (unfortunately not wheelchair accessible).
