Why We're Coming Together

Together, we build tests to guide frontier AI models on human flourishing that will touch 5+ billion humans. Please join us to ensure the world's most powerful AI models are shaped by the best of human values. Three important groups will come together for this effort:

Wisdom Council (e.g. philosophers, ethicists, contemplative tradition teachers, neuroscientists, economists)

Domain Specialists (e.g. mental health, conflict mediation, education, health advice)

Evaluation Experts from AI labs

The Goal

Evaluations are tests that determine what AI models become good at doing. We're building evaluations that steer frontier LLMs, e.g. ChatGPT or Gemini, toward human flourishing in many fields, including teen & adult mental health, purpose-making, re-skilling, conflict resolution, ethical reasoning & more.

By the end of the day, we'll have edited an MVP evaluation blueprint ready for a team to build.

How It Works

Morning: Learn how AI evaluations work, align on success criteria, map flourishing taxonomy to real-world use-cases, draft exemplar tasks & rubrics in breakout sprints.

Afternoon: Design the judging stack & metrics, red-team the spec for exploits, lock the MVP, build the 9-month plan with owners & milestones, define governance & lab adoption strategy.

Who Should Come

We're looking for people who want to roll up their sleeves & develop a future in which AI systems act with wisdom, compassion, & ethical clarity. This only works if a plurality of voices & perspectives are in the room (wisdom keepers, domain specialists, & evaluation experts).

This is a full-day working session - come help us build the future!

About Positive AI Labs

A non-profit building evaluation infrastructure that steers frontier AI toward human flourishing. Our goal is to influence how every major AI model is trained via tests that define what "good" means for complex human situations, when often there is no single "right" answer.

Lunch & refreshments provided.
