AI Control Hackathon 2026 - San Francisco
Building robust oversight mechanisms for advanced AI systems, alongside 500+ builders globally.
The Event
As AI systems grow more capable, the question shifts from whether they can do useful work to whether we can maintain meaningful oversight when they do. AI control research tackles this directly: building protocols that prevent bad outcomes even if an AI is actively trying to subvert safety measures. Join us at Mox for a weekend hackathon focused on building practical solutions for AI monitoring, containment, and oversight.
