As AI adoption accelerates across sectors\ , this regional momentum brings with it a responsibility to ensure that in novation is matched by rigorous attention to safety\, governance and socie tal impact. As such\, the Northeast offers a living laboratory in which qu estions of robustness\, alignment\, accountability and trustworthy deploym ent can be examined in real world settings\, connecting technological adva ncement with public value.\n\nAgainst this backdrop\, the Centre for AI Sa fety at Newcastle University invites expressions of interest for an interd isciplinary workshop bringing together researchers working across technica l\, social and governance dimensions of AI safety. The workshop is designe d to create a structured space for dialogue between computer scientists\, engineers\, social scientists\, business and legal scholars\, philosophers and industry professionals who share an interest in the safe and responsi ble development of AI. The event will prioritise discussion and cross disc iplinary exchange. Short position talks will frame key issues and surface emerging work\, practical challenges and conceptual perspectives\, with th e aim of identifying shared research questions and opportunities for colla boration. Contributions that bridge technical and non technical perspectiv es\, particularly those grounded in real world deployment contexts\, are e specially welcome. The workshop is open to academic researchers at all car eer stages\, doctoral candidates and industry practitioners.\n\nWe look fo rward to fostering an engaged and critical community committed to advancin g AI safety through interdisciplinary collaboration.\n\nWhen: May 5th\, 20 26 9.30 AM  with networking lunch at 12.30\nWhere: Urban Sciences Buildin g G.003\, Newcastle University\n\nTo present\, please complete the form fo und here by Monday the 20th of April.\n\nAgenda\n\n9.00-9.30 Arrival and r egistrations\n\n9.30-10.30 Keynote: Laura Stoddart\, SAGE PLC\n\n10.30-10. 45 Break\n\n10.45-12.25 Presentations (Streams A / B / C)\n\n12.25-12.30 C losing remarks\n\n12.30-13.30 Networking Lunch\n\n \;\n\nStream A - Fa cilitator Dinara Davlembayeva (G.003)\n\n Will Yeadon\, Durham University : Scalable Oversight in Physics: Detecting Coherent Reasoning Errors in Mo del-Generated Derivations\n Mohsen Naqvi\, Newcastle University: AI for N eurodevelopmental Disorders Diagnosis\n Sylvia Crow\, Northumbria: Can Co de Be Your Lawyer?
