Hanoi | Global South AI Safety Hackathon

🌏 Use your skills to solve AI safety gaps in Asia • Join Apart Research's Global South AI Safety Hackathon!
AI safety research is concentrated in a handful of countries. None of the top 100 institutions by AI publication index, in either universities or companies, are based in Africa or Latin America (Chan et al., 2021). Meanwhile, AI risks hit differently in these regions: jailbreaks are more common in low-resource languages, and algorithmic bias trained on non-local data shows up in healthcare and hiring deployments.
This hackathon is not about bringing AI safety to the Global South. It is about bringing the Global South into AI safety. Researchers here have contextual knowledge the field needs: regulatory landscapes, language gaps, and institutional constraints that determine whether safety research actually works in practice.
