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

Hosted by Ireland Startup: Idea to IPO

Build and deploy a custom AI research agent for competitive intelligence in this paid online workshop on 13 November 2026 at 03:30 UTC. Rather than manually piecing together company news, reviews and hiring activity, you’ll fork a working competitive-intelligence agent and adapt it to produce structured research covering recent news, hiring patterns, market positioning, gaps and potential red flags. What you’ll do - Clone the existing agent from GitHub - Connect custom sources such as RSS feeds and open APIs - Test the agent live using a real company, competitor or industry keyword - Leave with a deployed agent designed to run 100+ times The workshop supports two use cases: job seekers researching employers before applying, interviewing or accepting an offer, and employees or side hustlers tracking competitors, market gaps and strategic moves. Bring a laptop with a browser and some basic experience asking questions and iterating with Claude. Optional 10-minute pre-work involves cloning the repository, configuring an API key and checking that it runs; otherwise, setup will take place during the first 20 minutes. Tickets cost $17–$27 and include materials plus a post-workshop recap covering iteration, advanced techniques and troubleshooting. Ethical guardrails will also be addressed. The title describes a two-hour event, while the published details describe a three-hour workshop. This event is organised by Albert’s List and promoted by Ireland Startup: Idea to IPO. It is open to attendees worldwide, with the online access link visible to registered attendees. Book the paid ticket through Eventbrite, then view the event and attendance details on Meetup.
