FAGEN@ICML 2026
Workshop on Failure Modes of Agentic AI at ICML 2026
Jul 10 2026COEX Convention & Exhibition Center, Seoul, South KoreaOfficial workshop site Site reachable
FAGEN@ICML 2026 is a workshop focused on failure modes in agentic AI, aiming to take agent failures seriously by developing operational definitions, reproducible triggers, trace-level diagnostics, and verified fixes. It addresses the unique challenges of long-horizon agent behaviors where failures accumulate silently across hundreds of steps, moving beyond final-score evaluations to analyze process-level breakdowns.
