Uncommon Hacks AI Safety Track

May 16–17, 2026

XLab is proud to sponsor the AI Safety Track of Uncommon Hacks 2026. We hope this will provide an opportunity for people to learn about AI Safety and get hands-on experience building a project that contributes to the field. Because of the relative novelty of the field, every individual contributor, even those who are less experienced, can have an outsized impact on the trajectory of AI development.
