We estimate the time commitment for this role is around 150 hours over 4 months, including attendance at the 10-day event itself.
We are also looking for organisations interested in partnering with us to host an ML4Good bootcamp. Similarly to the above, ideally we’d like someone from your organisation to work with us on operations, particularly venue search, country-based outreach and attendance at the event itself. Please have a low bar for filling out this form; this doesn’t entail any commitment from you at this stage and we are open to conversations tailoring this collaboration further.
EffiSciences has conducted substantial exploratory work in activities relating to AI Safety field-building. They found that running these short but intense bootcamps are particularly efficient in jumpstarting partcipants' careers in AI safety. Past bootcamps have been a great way of fostering the community of the given regions as well as growing participants’ confidence in their knowledge of AI safety and ability to contribute. Perhaps most importantly, participants, organisers and the teaching team find the bootcamps and connections formed there very motivating. None of this can happen without organisers behind-the-scenes taking care of everything you can think of and much more!
As an individual: We have found organising ML4Good is a highly rewarding experience and the participants are very appreciative of the effort put into them. It’s an opportunity to get experience in operations, and test your fit with a relatively low-time commitment yet still substantial project. If someone you know wants to get more involved with the AI Safety community in an operations or community-building role, this is a good opportunity to point them towards.As an organisation: This is an opportunity to develop connections between organisations, and for us to learn from each other. If you were considerig running a similar programme yourself, this would reduce the redundancy and make use of the resources already developed for this format and of our network of experienced teachers and TAs. If you think your region could benefit from this kind of programme, we'd love to collaborate.
In this role, you'll develop the curriculum for our first governance camp, based on our current technical curriculum and under the supervision of Charbel-Raphael Ségerie and Jonathan Claybrough.
The goal is to upskill participants in communicating AI risks effectively, developing strategic insights and engaging in policy-oriented actions.
. Curriculum design and development
. Coordination with subject experts
. Instruction and facilitation for the first camp

Helping developing the field of AI safety, and motivated by our vision and mission by using your familiarity with policy and governance issues in AI.
You'll hone your abilities to teach complex topics, and design workshops and exercises that cultivate strategic thinking from the start.
Support from the ML4Good team, fair compensation and work flexibility.
It'll take you only a few minutes, and you'll be take part on a global task force for safer AI
Our vision extends across the globe, and your network can be our compass. Each referral helps us discover and serve communities we might not have found on our own.
If you think someone is a great fit for these roles we'd love if you could pass it forward.
