Eligibility

AI is going to impact all parts of society and will require expertise from all fields, so there's no single profile that we're looking for. We don't expect any prior technical knowledge.

The ideal candidate is somebody committed to contributing to AI safety in a substantial way, either full-time as a job or as a side project.

We're looking for participants from a variety of backgrounds, from technical people looking to go into governance, to those with a background in communication, law, policy or entrepreneurship.

This also extends to career stage; we are most excited about people who are ready to actively contribute to AI safety, be that someone who has just finished their masters or PhD, someone with decades of work experience, or someone early in their career.

We expect participants to have some familiarity of the major risks from AI (e.g. misuse from bad actors, extinction risks) and a rough overview of some proposed solutions. We provide a prerequisite reading list to give everyone enough shared understanding to make the most out of the camp.
