We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis.
In just over two years, we’ve trained 1,200+ people through our flagship programs:SPAR: The largest AI safety research fellowship, with 800+ mentees per round mentored by researchers from Anthropic, Redwood Research, RAND, MIT, the UK AI Security Institute, and others.
Generator Residency: In partnership with Constellation, a platform for generalist talent to pitch, build, and ship projects that build capacity and infrastructure across the AI safety ecosystem, with advisors from OpenAI, AI Futures Project, METR, and more.
Global Challenges Project: A workshop series introducing promising students to careers in AI safety and biosecurity, run several times a year across Oxford, Boston, and Berkeley.
Pathfinder Fellowship: Helping grow the global network of AI safety university groups from a few dozen to nearly 100, with $9.
5M in funding over the next two years to support their work.
We see ourselves as a portfolio of highly impactful projects in a fast-evolving field.
Over the next six months, we expect to double in size and launch several new initiatives addressing critical gaps in the ecosystem.
The RoleUniversity groups are where many people first get involved in AI safety, and Kairos provides most of the support these groups get today.
Through the Pathfinder Fellowship, we provide mentorship and funding to organizers of AI safety university groups around the world, and through OASIS we bring top organizers together for in-person workshops.
Over the past year, this work has grown from a fraction of our time to one of our core priorities, and we’re now building a team around it.
We’re looking for a Head of Groups to own this area as a whole and make it more ambitious.
You’d set the strategy for how we plan to support AI safety university groups, decide which.
