Hosted by Apart Research

Build practical AI benchmarks, trust infrastructure and decision-support products online from 13–15 November 2026 in Apart Research’s three-day sprint. The AI x Epistemics Research Sprint examines how AI is changing what people and institutions believe, how they make decisions and how they coordinate. Organised by Apart Research, an independent AI safety research organisation, the event challenges participants to turn open research questions into tangible tools, studies and prototypes that support a healthier information environment. What you’ll do Working solo or in a team of up to five, you’ll choose an open problem, develop a project over one weekend and write up your findings. Possible outputs include a benchmark, verification signal, research study or user-facing product. Reading lists, datasets, design sketches and worked examples are provided as starting points, and several suggested projects require no machine-learning skills. The sprint offers four tracks, including an open track for broader questions in the field. Named areas include: - Model epistemics and decision-making evaluations: test whether models understand the strength of their claims, express confidence accurately, oversell evidence or change their position under pressure. Projects may also investigate benchmark gaming and whether honesty scores predict better decisions. - Trust infrastructure: explore auditable source-reliability scoring, provenance, tamper-evident records and signals that help people and AI agents check claims and trace their origins. The wider goal is to make verification cheap, routine and difficult to manipulate. - Epistemic products: build and assess tools that improve real decisions, for example, evaluating advice users act upon, testing whether chatbots escalate disputes, creating briefings for consequential choices or surfacing disagreements and key cruxes within groups. - Open questions: tackle larger meta-level problems surrounding AI, knowledge, coordination and adoption.… Register for this event

AIAI New York also brings together co-located summit content covering generative AI, agentic AI and executive AI leadership, with multi-track access promoted by the organiser. This creates a useful meeting point between hands-on builders and the leaders setting strategy, governance and risk priorities.… Register for this event

⌖ Newcastle · The Catalyst

Hosted by Jumping Rivers

AI in Production 2027 brings practitioners to The Catalyst in Newcastle on 10–11 June to share real-world lessons from deployed AI and machine learning systems. The conference opens with workshops on Thursday, followed by a full Friday programme of standard talks and lightning talks. Its focus is firmly on AI systems used beyond the people who built them, not speculative predictions, standalone benchmarks or polished product pitches. Call for speakers Jumping Rivers is accepting abstracts until 29 January 2027. Proposed talks can explore: - Deployment, serving, rollouts and rollbacks - Monitoring, observability, drift and feedback loops - Evaluation, human review, red-teaming and guardrails - RAG pipelines, agents and assistants in production - Cost, latency, caching and model-selection trade-offs - Production incidents and the lessons that followed - Responsible AI, regulation, governance and liability - Ownership and collaboration across technical teams Strong abstracts should describe a specific system, a consequential decision or turning point, what went wrong, and one clear takeaway supported by evidence where possible. Work in progress, internal tools, small-scale systems and discontinued projects are all welcome, and first-time speakers are explicitly encouraged. Standard sessions run for approximately 25 minutes, including five minutes for questions. Lightning talks last six minutes, use slides that advance automatically every 20 seconds and conclude with one question. Standard-talk speakers receive a free conference ticket. Submit a title and an abstract of up to 300 words through the speaker submission form. Applicants should hear back within two months of the deadline, and likely sooner.
