FARI2025: Rethinking AI Safety in the Public Interest
This event takes place on Tuesday 18 November 2025 at 09:30 at BeCentral in Brussels, and is organized by Global AI Policy Research Network (represented by Delft University of Technology and Uniarts Research Institute).
About the event:
AI Safety has become the focus of recent deliberations and reports, spurred by the rapid uptake of generative AI models and robotic agents.
However, it is often framed via a narrow technical definition, rather than the social and institutional contexts that shape- and are shaped by- systems and agents.
This half-day interactive workshop will advance notions of AI Safety from a sociotechnical systems perspective to inform a research and action agenda working towards a Public Interest AI Safety Ecosystem.
The Global AI Policy Research Network is a community of practice that serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to advance responsible AI policy research and actionable strategies. A core objective of the network is to inform global approaches to AI governance by sharing best practices and fostering collaborative AI policy development. The network was established following the inaugural 2024 Summit in Stockholm; a second Summit took place in Delft in November 2025.
This event is held as part of the FARI Brussels Conference 2025 under the theme “AI, Robots, and Us: Living with Intelligent Agents?” - Partners Day.
