August 25-29, 2025 in Berkeley, California
#### View [the submissions](https://openreview.net/group?id=iliadconference.com/ODYSSEY/2025/Conference\#tab-active-submissions) for the [_Proceedings of ODYSSEY_](https://www.iliadconference.com/proceedings)
#### Dedicated to building strong scientific foundations for AI safety.
### Program and Unconference Format
ODYSSEY was a 100+ person conference about alignment with a mathematical focus. ODYSSEY featured an _unconference format—_ meaning that participants can propose and lead their own sessions. We believe that this is the best way to release the latent creative energies in everyone attending.
The ILIAD conferences are the premier gathering for all things theory and alignment. Topics include: [Singular Learning Theory](https://www.lesswrong.com/w/singular-learning-theory), [Agent Foundations](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/3vDb6EzBpaHqDqQif/some-summaries-of-agent-foundations-work-1), [Causal Incentives](https://causalincentives.com/), [Computational Mechanics](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gTZ2SxesbHckJ3CkF/transformers-represent-belief-state-geometry-in-their), Safety-by-Debate, Scalable Oversight and more.
