HASH AI Safety Evening: Talk by Dr Yi Jingwei (BAAI) + Lightning Talks + Networking
Join us for our upcoming AI Safety Evening on 27 November 7:00–9:30pm, at the Hong Kong AI Safety Hub @ Le Bureau, in Central.
We're honoured to welcome Dr Yi Jingwei from the Center for Large Language Model Safety at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) as our special guest. She will give a presentation on her current research on Pluralistic Value Alignment: Challenges and Technologies.
Dr Yi's research focuses on responsible artificial intelligence, with particular interests in the societal impacts, safety, and reliability of large language models. She has conducted extensive research on jailbreak attacks and defenses, safety alignment, and deceptive behaviors in AI systems. Her work has been published in leading journals and conferences, including Nature Machine Intelligence, ACL, KDD, and EMNLP, and has been deployed in large-scale industrial applications such as Bing Search and the MSN News recommendation system.
Rundown: 7:00 registration & networking · 7:30 guest talk + Q&A + lightning talks · 8:30 networking.
Call for lightning talks: We're inviting 5-minute talks from Hong Kong's AI safety community—technical alignment, evaluations, governance, risk, safety engineering, and more. Lightning talks are the fastest way to put your work in front of Hong Kong’s growing AI safety community. In five minutes you can:
Share a research finding or work-in-progress with a technically engaged audience
Float an idea and get feedback before it becomes a full paper
Connect with collaborators across universities, labs, and industry
Practice concise science communication—a skill that matters as much in AI safety as anywhere
Whether you’re a PhD student, faculty member, independent researcher, or working in industry, if you’re thinking seriously about AI safety research, we want to hear from you.
