CFAR and MIRI are running our fifth annual MIRI Summer Fellows Program (MSFP) in the San Francisco Bay Area from August 9 to August 24, 2019.
MSFP is an extended retreat for mathematicians and programmers with a serious interest in making technical progress on the problem of AI alignment. It includes an overview of CFAR's applied rationality content, a breadth-first grounding in the MIRI perspective on AI safety, and multiple days of actual hands-on research with participants and MIRI staff attempting to make inroads on open questions.
Program Description
The intent of the program is to boost participants, as far as possible, in four overlapping areas:
Doing rationality inside a human brain: understanding, with... (read 321 more words →)
We got your application Donald and you're likely to hear from us soon. We'll be scheduling our final interviews over the coming days/week.
We're also currently accepting applicants for our AI Risk for Computer Scientists program. While both programs are co-run by MIRI and CFAR staff, and both focus on rationality plus AI safety content, there are some essential differences:
• Length: MSFP runs for two weeks while AIRCS is five days long.
• Frequency: MSFP occurs once a year, while AIRCS happens about once every two months.
• Focus: While MSFP has a larger focus on math, AIRCS has a larger focus on computer science.
• Participants: MSFP is more targeted toward people interested in Embedded Agency sub-problems
CFAR and MIRI are running a free AI Summer Fellows Program (AISFP) in the San Francisco Bay Area from June 27 to July 14. Aimed at increasing participants' abilities to do technical research in AI alignment, the program includes CFAR's applied rationality content and practice in doing technical research toward AI Safety with MIRI researchers and (20-24) other participants.
Program Description
AISFP, a two week summer program designed to increase participants' ability to do technical research into the AI alignment problem, will take place in the San Francisco Bay Area from June 27 to July 14.
The intent of the program is to boost participants, as far as possible, in four skills:
