Generative AI Modelling for Extreme Events 2025 Extreme events—such as market crashes, wildfires, unprecedented flooding, intense hurricanes, and extreme heatwaves—cause major disruptions across societal and ecological systems.The Generative AI Modelling for Extreme Events (GAME) 2025 workshop aims to stimulate discussion on generative AI models for extreme events and to promote the exploration of novel directions in this emerging area.Extreme Value Theory (EVT) provides a robust mathematical framework, drawing on Karamata’s theory of regular variation and asymptotic principles, to estimate the risks of such events by extrapolating into the tails of a distribution—beyond the limits of available data. While particular emphasis on this workshop will be placed on EVT-inspired approaches, a multidisciplinary outlook will be strongly encouraged.The origins of AI can be traced back to the 1920s and 1930s, with foundational contributions from Gödel and Turing in logic and theoretical computer science; interestingly, EVT emerged in a similar period, shaped by pioneering work from Fisher and Tippett. Despite these parallel beginnings, meaningful intersections between the two fields have only recently begun to emerge. This workshop seeks to contribute to this growing convergence, with a particular emphasis on aspects related with generative AI for extremes.Chair: Miguel de Carvalho; Chair of Statistical Data Science and GAIL Fellow GAME 2026 GAME 2025 was the first workshop on generative AI modelling for extreme events. Following its success, the next edition — GAME 2026 — is scheduled to take place in Bologna, Italy.
