ICLR 2026 Workshop: Principled Design for Trustworthy AI – Interpretability, Robustness, and Safety across Modalities

Modern AI systems, particularly large language models, vision-language models, and deep vision networks, are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and legal decisions. Yet, their lack of transparency, fragility to distributional shifts between train/test environments, and representation misalignment in emerging tasks and data/feature modalities raise serious concerns about their trustworthiness.

This workshop focuses on developing trustworthy AI systems by principled design: models that are interpretable, robust, and aligned across the full lifecycle – from training and evaluation to inference-time behavior and deployment. We aim to unify efforts across modalities (language, vision, audio, and time series) and across technical areas of trustworthiness spanning interpretability, robustness, uncertainty, and safety.
