Program
The AAAI organizing committee has decided that all sessions will be held as an In-Person event. The SafeAI workshop schedule is provided below.
This year SafeAI has the honor and pleasure to announce our distinctive speakers Prof. Stuart Russell (University of California, Berkeley) and Prof. Song-Chun Zhu (PKU, THU, and BIGAI) who kindly accepted to conduct a special panel discussion, moderated by Mark Nitzberg (U.C. Berkeley), as opening and main event of the workshop. Special thanks to them!
