Seminar Groups

Working discussions, not lectures — designed for depth on questions that resist easy answers.

Recurring, focused sessions on specific problems in AI safety, governance, and the philosophy of artificial intelligence.

Our seminar groups are smaller, recurring sessions focused on specific problems in AI safety and governance. These are working discussions — designed for depth, disagreement, and progress on questions that resist easy answers.

Each seminar group runs over a series of sessions, allowing participants to build on previous discussions and develop ideas together rather than starting from scratch each time. We prioritise continuity and depth over breadth.

Seminars are open to researchers, students, professionals, and anyone willing to engage seriously with the material. No prior expertise is required — only intellectual curiosity and a willingness to think across disciplinary lines.
