Eleos Conference on AI Consciousness and Welfare

Fall 2026

Express interest in attending

Eleos AI Research is proud to announce the second annual Eleos Conference on AI Consciousness and Welfare (Eleos ConCon). We want to encourage thoughtful discussion around AI welfare, foster further research collaborations, and build a robust network of people who take AI welfare seriously. There are so many questions that remain unanswered in this still-nascent field, and this workshop is an opportunity to connect with AI researchers, neuroscientists, academics, philosophers, policymakers, and members of the press over 1:1s, breakout groups, panels, a poster session, and talks.

📍 Where? Berkeley, California

📅 When? Fall 2026 (Date TBD)

Who is this conference for?

• AI welfare researchers
