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

Crescendo Live San Francisco 2026 brings together customer experience leaders for a full-day exploration of AI's real-world impact on CX operations. Taking place on May 21, 2026 (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM PST) in the heart of San Francisco's tech ecosystem, this operator-focused conference cuts through AI hype to showcase what's actually working in customer support, automation, and team design. What You'll Gain This isn't another vendor-heavy conference. Crescendo Live delivers practical insights from experienced CX operators who are successfully deploying AI in production environments. You'll get clear on the new CX standard — understanding how speed, consistency, and trust have fundamentally reset customer expectations and where many organizations quietly fall short. The event tackles critical questions facing CX leaders today: how to move AI from experimentation to execution without breaking customer trust, how to pair automation with human expertise for faster decisions, and how to build smarter teams that leverage AI while maintaining the judgment and empathy that define exceptional service. Speaker Lineup Hear from leaders at the forefront of AI-powered customer experience, including James Green (Chief Customer Officer, Squire), Hemant Taneja (CEO, General Catalyst), Morgan Donaldson (Chief Commercial Officer, CNTRL+), Jaqueline Andre (Sr. Director CS Production & Support, BentoBox), Chris Jocson (Chief Operating Officer, Good Eggs), and executives from TaskRabbit, POLYWOOD, and Crescendo itself. These practitioners share real stories, honest challenges, and proven strategies from teams facing the same operational pressures you navigate daily.
