Engineering
Work on evaluation methods, reproducible experiments, data analysis, or research tools, with technical guidance appropriate to the project.
Project outputs
Produce a research brief, documented experiment, prototype, or another agreed contribution. Mentoring includes feedback on your methods, findings, and how you present the work.
Eligibility
You should be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree and interested in AI safety research or engineering. Relevant coursework, personal projects, and research experience help us identify a suitable project.
