The Safety Portfolio: Where Should AI Safety Effort Go?

​If AI is one of the most consequential technologies humans have built, then how we try to make it go well matters a lot. But "AI safety" includes a variety of approaches across technical research, governance, evals, international coordination, slowing things down, building better culture inside labs — and they're not interchangeable. Some of these matter much more than others, and reasonable experts disagree about which.

​You'll get 100 points to allocate across seven safety interventions, weighted by how much expected reduction in catastrophic AI risk you think each one produces per dollar. Then we'll compare, argue, and try to get to the cruxes of where people's ideas about how we can be prepared for the future are.

​Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech. Torontotechweek.com
