Assessing risk in human–AI interaction | IASEAI '26

How do we identify and measure risk in human–AI interaction? This breakout session from IASEAI 2026 explores how AI systems behave in real-world contexts—focusing on alignment, privacy trade-offs, personalization, and safety testing across both digital and physical environments. Across two segments, speakers examine how large language models and autonomous systems can be evaluated, stress-tested, and governed—highlighting the challenges of detecting failure modes, safeguarding users, and designing more reliable AI systems. Florian Mai — AI Alignment Strategies from a Risk Perspective: Independent Alignment Mechanisms or Shared Failures? Soumi Das — Revisiting Privacy, Utility, and Efficiency Trade-offs when Fine-Tuning Large Language Models Abhisek Dash — The Algorithmic Self-Portrait: Deconstructing Memory in ChatGPT Nathan Henry — Replt: Steering Language Models with Concept-Specific Refusal Vectors Shirali Nigam — Crash-Test Dummies for AI: Detecting Mental Health Risks to Safeguard Users Gen Li — Gen-NCAP: A Generative Simulator for Corner Case Benchmarking in End-to-End Autonomous Driving Hao Zhao — Challenger: Affordable Adversarial Driving Video Generation for Safety Testing 📍 Recorded at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris The International Association for Safe and Ethical AI (IASEAI) is a global professional association bringing together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working to ensure that advanced AI systems operate safely and ethically for the benefit of humanity.
