AI Safety & Ethics Barcelona Summit 2025

Welcome to the AI Safety & Ethics Barcelona Summit 2025 – The AI Safety & Ethics Summit is a premier international convening of technologists, ethicists, policymakers, and industry leaders committed to the responsible advancement of artificial intelligence. Over two intensive days, we will explore the regulatory, technical, philosophical, and societal dimensions of AI safety in an era of accelerating capabilities and emerging global challenges.

Conference Introduction

Join us in Barcelona this November to collaborate with global peers, exchange insights, and shape resilient, trustworthy frameworks for AI — from governance and alignment to algorithmic transparency and systemic risk mitigation.

6 Key Themes for the AI Safety & Ethics Summit

  1. Global Governance & Regulatory Harmonization: Navigating the AI Act, global AI frameworks, and cross-border compliance landscapes.
  2. Technical Alignment & AI Safety Engineering: Designing safe, robust, and interpretable AI systems with embedded alignment and oversight.
  3. Human Oversight & Decision Accountability: Balancing autonomy with human-in-the-loop control, and ensuring traceability of machine-led actions.
  4. Bias, Fairness & Ethical Design: Addressing algorithmic bias, ethical trade-offs, and societal impact in system design.
  5. AI in Critical Infrastructure & Society: Safeguarding public systems, media, and essential services from misuse or failure of AI.
  6. Systemic Risk & Long-Term Futures: Assessing existential risks, dual-use concerns, and the intersection of AI with geopolitical stability.
