Can AI and Safety Go Hand-in-Hand?

The Artificial Intelligence SIG is excited to announce the return of Byte Size – our popular series of compact, technical events designed to fuel minds and appetites! Join the Artificial Intelligence SIG for an insightful session exploring how we can build powerful AI systems that are also safe, reliable, and aligned with societal values. The capabilities of modern AI are advancing at a rapid pace. However, leveraging these systems safely is a complex challenge, one that must navigate appropriate system design and safeguards in both software and hardware, alongside data governance, ethics, and regulatory constraints. In this session, you will hear from speakers giving different technical perspectives on the central question: can AI and safety truly go hand-in-hand? From engineering principles to operational considerations, the discussion will explore how we can build AI systems that are not only powerful, but also safe, reliable, and aligned with societal values. Come for the insights, stay for the networking (and pizza!). Free for CW Members and £50 + VAT for non-members. For more information and to register.
