Some curated links we think students and researchers will find most helpful for finding career and funding opportunities in AI safety.
Comprehensive lists: AISafety.com | 80,000 hours | Emerging Tech Policy | Kairos
To get started in policy work: Short-term policy programs | Internships | Fellowships
To get started in technical research:
Supervised Program for ARignment research (SPAR): highest capacity, most entry-level friendly, runs triannually. Typical outcome is a research blogpost/workshop paper. Apply to your top 2-3 projects. AISI helped get this off the ground and is currently run by our friends at Kairos.
Machine Alignment Theory Scholars (MATS): lower capacity, but has the best mentors (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind). May require research and engineering experience.
University of Chicago XLab Fellowship: full-time summer program, low capacity. Good fit for students who can execute on their own projects/ideas.
To get started with independent project funding:
AISafety.com funders list: resources on everything from technical research to field building.
Anthropic Economic Futures Program: supports research and policy development focused on addressing AI’s economic impacts.
UK AISI Challenge Fund: award grants of up to £200,000 per project to address pressing, unresolved questions in AI safety and security.
