Support Australia's premier gathering for AI safety researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders. Help advance evidence-based AI policy and foster the next generation of AI safety work.
2024 Forum Success
The inaugural Australian AI Safety Forum in November 2024 brought together over 100 researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals from government, academia, industry, and civil society. The forum successfully presented foundational knowledge about AI safety issues and catalysed Australian work to address risks in advanced AI.
A Critical Moment for AI Safety
Global AI Governance
Australia released its National AI Plan and announced its AI Safety Institute. The EU AI Code of Practice is in effect, and California passed the Transparency in Frontier AI Act—both requiring safety protocols from powerful AI model developers.
AI Industry Growth
AI investments continue growing ($7 billion OpenAI/NextDC Sydney data centre, 63% of North American VC deals AI-related), with capabilities on track to saturate benchmarks by 2030, while risks escalate.
The Science of AI Safety
The International AI Safety Report was released shortly after the first forum. Two updates have since been released. The Second International AI Safety Report has now been released, providing an updated scientific foundation for the second Forum.
The 2026 forum is an opportunity to take stock of these changes and prepare for what's to come.
