ICLR · ICML · NEURIPS — 23 CONFERENCE‑YEARS, CLASSIFIED
0%
of the 55,794 papers accepted at ICLR, ICML and NeurIPS, 2019–2026, are AI safety — 2,328 papers.
Safety's share has grown roughly 28× since 2019. Every accepted paper is classified by an LLM into four classes; safety papers are then broken into 17 subdomains.
This measures technical AI safety at three ML conferences, not AI safety as a whole. Governance, welfare and other non-technical safety work mostly publishes elsewhere and is not counted here. Scope and limits.
