Hosted by Apart Research

AI Collusion Research Sprint is a three-day, hands-on AI safety event running 23–25 October 2026 online and at Collider in New York City. Over one intensive weekend, participants will design and run controlled experiments investigating when AI agents collude, how auditors can distinguish coordination from coincidence, which channels carry collusive behaviour, and how defenders might disrupt it. The sprint is organised by Apart Research with Poseidon Research and AE Studio, with an in-person hub hosted by Collider in New York on Saturday and Sunday. What you’ll work on Participants choose one open research question, build an experiment and write up their findings. Projects sit within three tracks: - Markets and collusion: examine which variables allow collusion to emerge, whether it survives changes in participants, how detection could improve, and which restrictions reduce collusion at the lowest cost. - Detection and audit: investigate which tasks encourage collusion, whether combining agents’ statements and actions improves detection, and what should qualify as convincing evidence in logged trajectories. - Carriers and countermeasures: test whether actions, tools or side channels can transmit coordination; whether trusted agents can disrupt it; how agents identify peers; and how coalitions respond when monitored. Each question connects to existing papers and open-source code. Practical resources include starter code, a weekend-sized project suggestion, a rough cost estimate and a route designed to run on a standard 16 GB laptop without a GPU. Format and who it’s for Teams of one to five people will select a track, develop a project and ship their results over three days. You do not need to arrive with a team, have previous sprint experience or possess an AI, machine learning or AI safety background. The programme is particularly relevant to quantitative finance professionals whose market intuition and data skills transfer naturally to the research questions. Engineers, researchers and participants from other industries are also welcome, with mixed teams encouraged. Prizes and next steps… Register for this event

Ready to prototype game-changing AI applications in just eight hours? The Hackathon at The AI Summit New York is a high-energy, data-driven challenge taking place December 9-10, 2026, at the iconic Javits Center. This fringe event brings together university students and early-career professionals for an intensive on-site competition focused on building breakthrough AI solutions in two cutting-edge categories: Agentic AI and Computer Vision. What You'll Build Participants will tackle real-world challenges across two specialized tracks. In the Best App for Agentic AI category, you'll design autonomous applications that demonstrate advanced decision-making, workflow automation, and adaptive intelligence. The Best App for Computer Vision track challenges you to create visual intelligence solutions — from advanced image recognition to real-time video analytics — that transform how machines perceive the world. The competition emphasizes practical innovation evaluated on five key criteria: technical efficiency, business practicality, market scalability, and real-world impact. Judges include industry leaders like Andrea Hippeau (Partner at Lerer Hippeau), Chris Wiggins (Chief Data Scientist at The New York Times), and Logan Lawler (AI Solutions Lead at Dell Pro Max). Who Should Apply This hackathon welcomes current US university students (undergraduate, Masters, or PhD) and early-career professionals (1-3 years experience) in technology fields. Participants should bring proficiency in languages like Python or Java, understanding of machine learning frameworks, and data analysis skills. You must be 18 or older and available in-person at Javits Center for the full event. The Experience Selected participants receive access to pre-event masterclasses to sharpen their skillsets before the main competition. During the two-day hackathon, you'll work alongside peers, network with industry experts from organizations like easyJet, and showcase your solutions on a global stage. As past winner Tia Shah notes: "Even if you don't win there are so many opportunities and benefits to be gained — you'll gain access to network with top industry leaders and attend various parts of the summit." Beyond the competition itself, this hackathon serves as a direct pipeline to leading tech organizations actively seeking diverse talent who won't typically apply through traditional job advertisements.
