Australian AI Safety Forum 2026
Shaping Australia's Role in AI Safety and Governance
Join us for this two-day interdisciplinary forum grounded in the science of AI safety as explored in the International AI Safety Report, as we bring together people from across research, government, industry and civil society to shape Australia's role in AI safety.
Since the 2024 forum, a major new edition of the International AI Safety Report has been published, Australia is establishing its AI Safety Institute, and the government has released the National AI Plan. The 2026 Forum builds on this momentum by gathering people across disciplinary lines to catalyse collaborations and advance the field in Australia.
Over two days, researchers, policymakers and practitioners will come together for a mix of presentations, workshops and structured discussions designed to build relationships, learn about the frontier of AI safety, surface disagreement, and move the field forward in Australia. You don't need to be a technical researcher to contribute; you just need to be willing to engage seriously, with curiosity and epistemic humility, on questions that don't yet have clear answers.
