About Us

About ML4Good

The first bootcamps were part of field-building research by EffiSciences, who concluded that ML4Good was the most effective field-building activity out of the many things they tried. Our alumni have gone on to work in the European AI Office, the French Centre for AI Safety (CeSIA), the Observatorio de Riesgos Catastróficos Globales (ORCG), Future of Life Institute, and SaferAI, among many others. Many have also gone on to participate in further programmes such as MATS and Pivotal.

Our goal is to transform participants' motivation into insights and concrete steps in 5 days. For example, during ML4Good Brazil, we created and reactivated 4 different AI Safety field-building groups in Latin America: Argentina, Colombia, AI Safety Brazil and ImpactRio, and ImpactUSP (University of Sao Paulo). Participants leave the bootcamp with a plan on how to use their unique skills to contribute to AI Safety.

We're proud to say we receive great feedback. Participants consistently rate us above 9/10 for recommending this bootcamp. And, without exaggeration, multiple participants have told us that ML4Good was the best experience of their life.

The Bootcamp

The law bootcamp will be a 5-day in-person intensive programme aiming to upskill participants in the AI Safety landscape, to cover latest developments, and to develop an understanding of AI governance and strategic topics. We help participants to find where their unique skillset can best contribute. Each day features a diverse set of activities such as technical coursework, presentations, group discussions, projects, and social activities in the evenings.

Our teachers overwhelmingly enjoy our bootcamps - many of them see it as a fun break from their usual routine where they have the opportunity to share their knowledge and help others in their AI Safety journey.

Why Join ML4Good?

Joining ML4Good means contributing to one of the first programmes worldwide dedicated to training a new wave of legal experts to address AI Safety. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping a curriculum that equips individuals to advocate for AI Safety and engage effectively in policy, making a real-world impact on AI risk awareness. And, importantly, have fun while doing it.
