The 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering for and with Trustworthy LLMs (LLMTrust 2026)
Welcome
Welcome to The 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering for and with Trustworthy LLMs (LLMTrust 2026), co-located with FSE 2026.
This workshop addresses two complementary dimensions of trustworthy LLM engineering:
- Software Engineering for Trustworthy LLM-Based Systems : principled architecture, testing, verification, monitoring, and governance for applications embedding LLMs (e.g., RAG pipelines, tool-using agents, multi-modal services).
- Software Engineering with Trustworthy LLM Integration : rigorous, auditable use of LLM assistance throughout the development lifecycle, with safeguards for reliability, provenance, privacy, and safety.
Grounded in trustworthiness goals (fairness, accountability, transparency, safety, contestability, harm mitigation), LLMTrust emphasizes actionable evidence, tests, metrics, logs, and proofs, to guide engineering decisions. The workshop promotes open artifacts (datasets, benchmarks, tools) to encourage community adoption and reproducible trustworthy AI engineering practices.
