Every speaker gives a masterclass on their own research. That research defines the safety standards AI systems must meet globally. Explore each expert below.
Each expert teaches their own field. Sessions span loss-of-control risk, machine ethics, robotics governance, adversarial security, and what the EU AI Act asks of high-risk systems.
