  • Showcase recent and ongoing work related to building safer conversational AI systems.
  • Bridge the gap by attracting interdisciplinary researchers in ethics and safety, dialogue, discourse, evaluation, human-computer interaction, computational social science and security, and researchers working in safety-critical domains.
  • Identify paths forward for more responsible conversational AI research and evaluation for dialogue-level safety.
