About this event
AI is moving fast, and the questions around safety, autonomy, and real-world impact are getting more urgent by the month. AI Safety Poland Talks #2 is a place to slow down just enough to think clearly, hear serious ideas, and meet other people who care about building and governing AI responsibly. Whether you are already deep in the field or just starting to explore it, this evening is designed to bring people into the same room for thoughtful discussion. Expect substance, curiosity, and the kind of in-person conversations that are hard to replace online. About the Event AI Safety Poland Talks #2 is part of an ongoing talk series for people interested in AI safety, autonomy, and the broader social and technical questions surrounding advanced AI systems. The goal is straightforward: create a reliable space in Poland for people to learn from talks, exchange perspectives, and strengthen the local community around these topics. This is an in-person event, which matters for the format. It is not only about listening to presentations; it is also about meeting people face to face, asking sharper questions, and having the kinds of side conversations that often lead to new ideas, collaborations, or simply a better understanding of the field. The event sits at the intersection of a few important audiences: people working directly on technical or conceptual AI safety problems, people thinking about governance and societal impact, and people who are still mapping the landscape and want to learn from others. That mix makes the conversation stronger. You are likely to hear different framings of the same issue, compare assumptions, and leave with a more grounded view of where the important disagreements and open questions really are. Because this is the second edition of the series, there is also a sense of continuity behind it. It is not a one-off meetup with vague networking goals; it is part of a growing community rhythm. If you are looking for a recurring place to stay connected to AI safety conversations in Poland, this event is a strong entry point. What to Expect You should expect a structured but approachable evening centered on talks and discussion. The core experience is likely to combine: Focused presentations on topics related to AI, safety, and autonomy Q&A or discussion moments where attendees can engage with the ideas directly Informal networking before, during, or after the main program Community-building conversations with people who share a serious interest in the topic The tone is intended to be thoughtful rather than performative. This is a good setting for asking real questions, testing your understanding, and hearing how others are making sense of a rapidly changing area. If you have been following AI developments and feeling that most conversations are either too superficial or too scattered, this kind of event offers a more useful middle ground: accessible enough to join, substantial enough to be worth your evening. Because the event includes both talks and networking, you can participate in the way that suits you. You might come primarily to learn from the speakers, or mainly to meet people in the local ecosystem, or to do both. In practice, many attendees will likely find that the discussion and the connections reinforce each other: a good talk gives people something meaningful to talk about, and a good conversation helps ideas stick. You do not need to arrive with fully formed views. What matters more is a genuine interest in the subject and a willingness to engage carefully. The best outcomes from events like this often come from people who are curious, open to updating their thinking, and interested in where the field is heading next. Why Attend If you care about AI safety, one of the hardest things is finding the right level of conversation. News cycles move too quickly, online debate can flatten nuance, and many broader AI events spend little time on safety in a serious way. This event offers a more focused environment for people who want to go beyond headlines and into the actual questions that matter. Attending can help you: Build a clearer picture of current issues in AI safety and autonomy Meet peers locally who are thinking seriously about similar questions Test and refine your own views through real conversation Spot opportunities for future involvement in community, research, or related work Stay connected to a developing AI safety network in Poland There is also value in simply being in the room. Strong communities are built through repeated contact, shared reference points, and trust developed over time. If you have been looking for a way to become more connected to people working on or adjacent to AI safety, showing up in person is one of the most direct ways to start. For newer attendees, this can be an efficient way to orient yourself. You will get exposure to the language, priorities, and open questions shaping the space. For more experienced attendees, it is a chance to compare notes, meet new collaborators, and contribute to a healthier local conversation around high-stakes AI development. Practical Details The event takes place in person on Thursday, November 20 at 6:00 PM GMT+1. If you prefer discussions that feel more engaged and less transactional than large online calls, the in-person format should be a strong fit. Because the event is scheduled for the early evening, it works well for people coming after work, study, or other daytime commitments. It is worth planning to arrive on time so you can settle in, catch the opening context, and make the most of the talk portion from the start. A few practical expectations to keep in mind: The event is best suited to people with a real interest in AI, autonomy, or AI safety In-person attendance means you will have a genuine chance to meet the community, not just consume content The format is likely to reward curiosity and participation, so come ready to listen, think, and talk If AI safety has been on your mind and you want a smarter, more grounded way to engage with it locally, AI Safety Poland Talks #2 is exactly the kind of event worth putting on your calendar.
