Seoul Alignment Workshop 2026: What We Learned | FAR.AI
Jul 28, 2026 FAR.AI's Seoul Alignment Workshop showed a field trying to turn AI safety into an engineering discipline, and discovering how far its measurements still have to go.
On July 6, FAR.AI convened the Seoul Alignment Workshop, co-located with ICML 2026, bringing together nearly 200 people from frontier labs, academia, government, and AI safety organizations. The talks ranged from the geometry of a model's internals to the design of national regulation. One could mistake it for a survey of unrelated problems. We see it as something more specific: AI safety practitioners trying to shape the field into something that looks more like an engineering discipline, and discovering how far it still has to go. The recurring demand was not for more capable models but…
