AI Safety Action Weeks May Edition

​Encode Africa presents: AI Safety — Capabilities & Alignment Week

​As Artificial Intelligence continues to scale at an unprecedented pace, the technical and ethical challenge of our time is clear: How do we ensure these powerful systems remain beneficial? In May, Encode Africa moves into the frontier of AI Capabilities and Alignment. This Action Week is designed to give young African researchers and the diaspora a working overview of the "Alignment Problem" and the critical trade-offs that arise as AI systems become more capable.

​What to Expect: We are moving beyond the basics to investigate the technical race between scaling and safety. Participants will explore the "Frontier Labs" approach to AI, the core mechanics of the alignment problem, and how African researchers can design interventions to ensure AI systems align with human values and safety standards.

​The Action Week Highlights:

• ​Frontier Insights: Keynotes from technical researchers and safety experts on the leading edge of AI development.

• ​Practical Quests: New curated tasks to build your footprint in technical safety (from alignment theory to analyzing capability scaling).

• ​Interactive Hacking: We break down complex technical concepts into "learning-by-doing" activities for the next generation of African AI Safety leaders.
