LawZero to Attend ICML 2026 in Seoul, Expanding its Global Safe AI Research Presence
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 18, 2026 – LawZero, a nonprofit organization committed to advancing research and creating technical solutions that enable safe-by-design AI systems, today announced that it will participate as an exhibitor at the 43rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026), taking place from July 6 to July 11 at the Coex Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea (Booth B112).
As a premier global conference for artificial intelligence and machine learning, ICML unites leading academics, engineers, entrepreneurs, and industry pioneers. The event showcases groundbreaking research across core ML fields and applications, including robotics, computer vision, and computational biology.
Several members of LawZero’s growing research team will be onsite throughout the conference to engage with the global AI research community, connect with researchers, students and professionals, discuss the organization’s safe-by-design AI mission and meet potential candidates interested in joining the organization.
LawZero currently has a team of approximately 25+ researchers under the leadership of Joumana Ghosn, Senior Director of Research, and Iulian Serban, Senior Director of Research & Development. The organization aims to grow its research team to approximately 70 members by the end of 2026 and is actively hiring for ML Research Scientists, ML Developers, Evaluation Experts, and even Mathematicians.
LawZero researchers attending ICML 2026 include:
- Alessandro Palmas, Senior ML Research Scientist
- Aton Kamanda, ML Research Engineer
- Iulian Serban, Senior Director of R&D
- Joumana Ghosn, Senior Director of Research
- Kevin Kasa, ML Research Engineer
- Pietro Greiner, Research Scientist
- Shenyang Huang, Senior ML Research Scientist
“ICML brings together some of the brightest minds shaping the future of artificial intelligence, making it an important opportunity for LawZero to engage with the global research community around one of the defining challenges of our time: ensuring AI remains safe, trustworthy and aligned with human values. We look forward to meeting researchers, students and collaborators who share our vision of building safe-by-design AI systems that can benefit society at large,” said Joumana Ghosn, Senior Director of Research at LawZero.
“ICML is where the research conversations that matter most happen. For LawZero, being at the table means connecting directly with the people building the future of AI and making the case that safety and capability are not in conflict, but deeply complementary,” said Iulian Serban, Senior Director of Research & Development at LawZero.
LawZero is entirely dedicated to developing highly intelligent, safe-by-design AI systems. Inspired by the rigor and neutrality of the scientific method, the organization’s Scientist AI is designed to produce honest, transparent and verifiable answers grounded in evidence and credible sources. By embedding safety directly into the model’s design, LawZero aims to help society fully benefit from AI while reducing the risks associated with increasingly capable systems.
About LawZero
LawZero is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing research and creating technical solutions that enable safe-by-design AI systems. Its scientific direction is based on new research and methods led by Professor Yoshua Bengio, the most cited AI researcher in the world. Based in Montreal, LawZero’s research aims to build a safe AI that could be used to accelerate scientific discovery, to provide oversight for other AI systems, and to advance the understanding of AI risks and how to avoid them. LawZero believes that AI should be cultivated as a global public good—developed and used safely towards human flourishing. LawZero was incubated at Mila - Quebec AI Institute, a nonprofit founded by Professor Bengio.
