Workshop series on

Risks and Unintended Harms of Generative AI Systems

An interdisciplinary venue for discussing risks, governance, and mitigation strategies for generative AI.

About the workshop

RisksGenAI is a workshop series focused on the risks, failures, and unintended harms of generative AI systems, including large language models, synthetic media generators, and related technologies. As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in domains such as journalism, governance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and other critical sectors, it raises urgent questions around trust, governance, accountability, and harm mitigation. The workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to examine these challenges from both technical and societal perspectives, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on how to better understand, measure, and mitigate the unintended consequences of generative AI. Across its editions, RisksGenAI aims to build a research community around responsible generative AI integration in data science, digital platforms, and socio-technical systems.
