I am excited to deliver a keynote address at ICML 2026 in Seoul! 🚀
As we move from instruction-following assistants to truly autonomous systems, we face a fundamental question: How can agents make safe decisions in complex normative environments when literal instructions fail?
Huge thanks to the @icmlconf organising committee. I’m looking forward to connecting with many of you in South Korea! 🇰🇷
