About the
Workshop

Read the full premise →

AI models now match or exceed human experts across domains from protein structure prediction and clinical forecasting to astronomy, climate science, animal communication, and strategic games.

This workshop reframes interpretability as a tool for discovery, bringing interpretability researchers and domain scientists together to turn what models encode into knowledge experts can test and validate.
