Hello world.
Telling me about interesting new ideas in AI safety/governance (especially cooperation and safety in multi-agent systems) or academic field-building and grantmaking.
Telling people about doing a (UK) PhD on AI (safety), cooperative AI, and academic field-building.
The Cooperative AI Foundation (CAIF) is hiring for a Chief Operating Officer.
CAIF is a new charitable entity – backed by an initial endowment of $15 million – whose mission is to support research that will improve the cooperative intelligence of advanced AI for the benefit of all humanity. The role of Chief Operating Officer will be critical for the scaling and smooth running of the foundation, both now and in the years to come.
Learn more here and apply by 23 June 2022 23:59 UTC 10 July 2022 23:59 UTC. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to discuss the role, or CAIF's work, further before applying.
I'd suggest a city group that aims to attract students from each of the universities in the city, as well as other non-students. Hopefully this would help to build a critical mass for the group more easily, as well as connecting people from different places. As an aside, I'll be in Pitttsburgh between September and December – see you there!
