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 RoleKairos has historically made a small number of large, ongoing bets, like SPAR and Pathfinder.
Running Generator taught us that this left a lot of value on the table.
A surprising number of time-bound opportunities are worth pursuing, whether that’s an event, a one-off program, or a project that responds to a narrow window for impact, even when they don’t have a clean home elsewhere in the ecosystem.
We’re starting a Special Projects team to go after them.
The team has a broad mandate and a large initial budget.
You’d pursue high-impact opportunities as we find them, in talent work and beyo.
