Why now

Capabilities grow month by month. Our ability to make them safe must grow faster.

AI safety is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Adoption across companies and institutions is accelerating. Only through a shared effort—across technical and non-technical backgrounds alike—can we mitigate the growing risks.

Join Warsaw AI Safety Day to meet people who care about making a difference, and take your first step—or your next one.

More room than slides

A conference built around the people in it.

Around 250 researchers, builders, students and organisations working on, or moving into, AI safety. The first event of its kind in Poland.

There are talks from people doing serious technical and governance work—and real time between them for conversations, introductions and an organisation fair.

Most attendees get more out of the room than out of the slides.

Programme

To be announced.

Two parallel tracks, brought together by shared keynotes, lunch and the film premiere. Session titles and speakers are being confirmed now.
