Interested in pursuing AI Safety, but feeling as befuddled as a beaver trying to solve a Rubik's cube? Fear not! AI Safety ANZ is here to help with its Summer Program.
Instead of puzzling through the field yourself, why not join a team and work through your confusion together?
In this program, you and your team will help each other form inside views of what needs to be done (other than solving, or destroying, that damn cube). Each week, you'll delve into a new topic and you'll share your findings to your peers. Some discussions will be structured as debates and others as presentations.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to level up your knowledge in a fun and collaborative environment.
