AI Governance Workshop: Alignment, Morality, Law, and Design

We are excited to announce the 3rd International Workshop on “AI Governance Workshop: Alignment, Morality, Law, and Design” (AIGOV) at the AAAI 2026, a critical event addressing the critical intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) governance, ethical alignment, and responsible deployment across autonomous systems. As AI technologies rapidly advance from generative models to sophisticated agentic systems capable of autonomous decision-making, new governance challenges emerge that existing frameworks cannot adequately address. This workshop brings together researchers, industry practitioners, and policy experts to develop actionable frameworks for safe, aligned, and accountable AI systems. Our unique focus combines technical governance mechanisms with policy integration, emphasizing “Governance by Design” approaches that embed responsibility directly into AI architectures rather than applying governance as external oversight.
