AI Safety Night SF: From Multimodal to Physical AI
AI Safety Night SF: From Multimodal to Physical AI
Join us for another AI Safety Night in San Francisco! After a sold-out first edition with 150+ attendees (https://luma.com/acywrxdj), we’re back with a new theme and a new format.
AI is moving from seeing and hearing, to acting on screens, to acting in the physical world, and each step changes what “safe” means. This evening brings together people working on safety across that whole arc, from multimodal models and AI agents to robotics and embodied AI.
🎨 Gallery venue at The Art of San Francisco, Embarcadero
