Abstract

Technical AI Safety 2024 (TAIS 2024) was a conference organised by AI Safety 東京 and Noeon Research, in collaboration with Reaktor Japan, AI Alignment Network and AI Industry Foundation. You may have heard of us through ACX.

The goals of the conference were

demonstrate the practice of technical safety research to Japanese researchers new to the field
share ideas among established technical safety researchers
establish a good international reputation for AI Safety 東京 and Noeon Research
establish a Schelling conference for people working in technical safety

We sent out a survey after the conference to get feedback from attendees on whether or not we achieved those goals. We certainly achieved goals 1, 2 and 3; goal 4 remains to be seen. In this post we give more details about the conference, share results from the feedback survey, and announce our intentions to run another conference next year.
