Responsible AI Symposium 2026
Safety isn't a single problem with a single solution. It's a spectrum — from the alignment researcher stress-testing model behavior, to the actor protecting their digital likeness, to the parent wondering what AI is teaching their kid about connection and loneliness.
At the 9th Annual Responsible AI Symposium, we're examining The Many Faces of Safety — the idea that building a resilient AI future requires us to hold all of these perspectives at once. Across tracks in health, policy, media & entertainment, and safety research, we'll explore what it means to design systems, laws, and norms that protect people across every dimension of their lives.
Health & Wellbeing
AI is reshaping our emotional and physical lives in ways we're only beginning to understand. This track examines the attachment economy, AI-induced psychological distress, and the quiet expansion of surveillance through our own health data.
AI Safety Research & Alignment
What is the field of AI safety actually working on — and why does it matter to everyone? Researchers break down the latest in alignment, open questions in the field, and what it looks like to pursue this work from the inside.
AI Governance & Policy
How do organizations assess and manage AI risk under emerging law? This track covers compliance, liability exposure, and what responsible deployment actually requires of the companies building and using AI today.
Music & Entertainment
Creatives are negotiating AI on every front simultaneously — likeness and voice rights, licensing frameworks being rewritten in real time, shifting career skill sets, and how media companies are making practical decisions about AI adoption internally.
