Do you have AI Safety research ideas that you would like to work on with others? Is there a project you want to do and you want help finding a team? AI Safety Camp could be the solution for you!

Summary

AI Safety Camp Virtual is a 3-month long online research program from January to April 2025, where participants form teams to work on pre-selected projects. We want you to suggest the projects!

If you have an AI Safety project idea and some research experience, apply to be a Research Lead. If accepted, we offer some assistance to develop your idea into a plan suitable for AI Safety Camp. When project plans are ready, we open up team member applications. You get to review applications for your team, and select who joins as a team member. From there, it’s your job to guide work on your project.

Who is qualified?
We require that you have some previous research experience. If you are at least 1 year into a PhD or if you have completed an AI Safety research program (such as a previous AI Safety Camp, PIBBSS, MATS, and similar), or done a research internship with an AI Safety org, then you are qualified already. Other research experience can count, too.

More senior researchers are of course also welcome, as long as you think our format of leading an online team inquiring into your research questions suits you and your research.

We require that all Research Leads are active participants in their projects and spend at least 10h/week on AISC.

Choosing project idea(s)

AI Safety Camp is about ensuring future AIs are either reasonably safe or not built at all.

We welcome many types of projects including projects aimed at stopping or pausing AI development, aligning AI, deconfusion research, or anything else you think will help make the world safer from AI. If you like, you can read more of our perspectives on AI safety, or look at past projects.

If you already have an idea for what project you would like to lead, that’s great. Apply with that one!

However, you don’t need to come up with an original idea. What matters is you understanding the idea you want to work on, and why. If you base your proposal on someone else's idea, make sure to cite them.
