🚨 Schmidt Sciences has launched a request for technical research proposals on the Science of Trustworthy AI: schmidtsciences.smapply.io/prog/science_o… The RFP has three connected aims:

We're hiring ~10 research engineers on the Interpretability team at Anthropic. If you're a seasoned ML infra engineer who's excited about understanding what's happening inside frontier models, we'd love to hear from you. (No prior interp experience needed!)

Schmidt Sciences grantees @adjiboussodieng, an AI2050 Fellow, and @Yoshua_Bengio, a Science of Trustworthy AI grantee, were recently appointed by the @UN General Assembly to serve on the inaugural Independent International Scientific Panel on AI: un.org/independent-in…

Excited for this collaboration!

We’re joining a global AI Alignment Project to direct up to $20M toward safe and secure AI. Grants of up to $1.3M per project will support researchers building tools to ensure AI aligns with human values. Learn More: buff.ly/Ojkazfn #AISafety #AIResearch

Calling AI safety researchers: What is the most critical technical AI safety problem in the inference-time compute paradigm? Apply for up to $500K for 12-18-month research projects on this new paradigm. 📅EOIs (up to 500 words) due April 30: schmidtsciences.org/safetyscience/

This is A+ philanthropy: Find a field neglected by other funders (nursing ed) that has broad benefits (economic mobility & health outcomes), identify the constraint (shortage of faculty and lab space), do strong due diligence, fund it at scale, and give while living.

A century ago, automobiles lacked safety features we take for granted. Research, regulation, and investment – including philanthropic support – established safety standards for cars. We believe philanthropy can play a role in advancing AI safety as well: insidephilanthropy.com/home/why-ai-ha…

Philanthropy helped build the foundation of AI research—but as private investment reshapes the field, what role does philanthropy play now? Independent research is now crucial to ensuring AI develops transparently and for the public good: philanthropy.com/article/how-ph… @Philanthropy

Excited to have @schmidtsciences support this work

Our new AI Safety Science program will support projects developing well-founded and implementable technical methods for testing and evaluating LLMs. We're excited to announce 27 projects advancing science critical to understanding safety properties of AI: schmidtsciences.org/new-10-million…

Big new review! 🟦Open Problems in Mechanistic Interpretability🟦 We bring together perspectives from ~30 top researchers to outline the current frontiers of mech interp. It highlights the open problems that we think the field should prioritize! 🧵

We're thrilled to welcome the 2024 cohort of AI2050 Senior and Early Career Fellows –– 25 visionary researchers tackling AI's toughest challenges to ensure it serves humanity for the better. Learn more about this year’s cohort of fellows: schmidtsciences.org/schmidt-scienc…
