Join us on July 24th for Unsupervised Learning* — a day to explore some of the most important recent developments in frontier AI safety. *(You will be doing the Unsupervised Learning, not the models)
Researchers will share insights through lightning talks, group discussions, and deeper-dive sessions in the afternoon. All sessions are optional: attendees are heavily encouraged to grab 1:1s, co-work, and drop in and out of scheduled sessions as they find them useful.
Register here by Friday, July 18 EOD. Last minute attendees contact henry@constellation.org.
Additional location information:
