• AI Safety Camp — A program that connects you with a team and research lead to collaborate on a research project.

• SERI ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program (SERI MATS) — Four weeks developing an understanding of a research agenda at the forefront of AI alignment through online readings and cohort discussions, averaging 10 h/week. After this initial upskilling period, the scholars will be paired with an established AI alignment researcher for a two-week ‘research sprint’ to test fit. Assuming all goes well, scholars will be accepted into an eight-week intensive scholars program in Berkeley, California.

• Principles of Intelligent Behavior in Biological and Social Systems (PIBBSS) — Brings together young researchers studying complex and intelligent behavior in natural and social systems.
