Bridging Humans and Machines: Advancing Alignment in AI Conference

Stanford Graduate School of Business

As AI systems continue to advance beyond human capabilities, how can we ensure they remain aligned with human values and intentions? The Stanford Graduate School of Business is convening an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders to tackle the pressing challenges, solutions, and opportunities related to AI alignment. We aim to dive deep into topics such as measuring AI alignment and designing state-of-the-art solutions to ensure AI agents remain aligned with human users. This conference provides academics with a unique opportunity to learn from industry practitioners about the pragmatic problems they encounter while also offering an independent, academic perspective on alignment issues. By inviting academics from social sciences and engineering disciplines, we encourage cross-disciplinary discussions on creating and operationalizing solutions to alignment challenges, particularly those at the intersection of technology and economic incentives. The conference’s goals are to inspire new academic research on current and relevant AI alignment topics and to foster greater cross-disciplinary collaboration in AI research.
