This summer, four more ML4Good bootcamps are coming to Europe!
Please apply to attend if you're interested using this link.
Join one of our 8-day, fully paid-for, in-person training bootcamps to build your career in AI safety, and become part of our wonderful alumni community!
Our alumni meetup at EAG London 2026
Our programmes support individuals from various backgrounds who want to work on reducing catastrophic and existential AI risk.
Each bootcamp is a residential, full-time programme, and is divided into two tracks:
Technical Track: For people with some technical background who are interested in moving into roles that require some technical AI Safety expertise.
Governance & Strategy Track: For people looking to contribute to AI safety through policy, governance, strategy, operations, media, or field-building.
We're really proud to say that some of our alumni have gone on to roles at leading AIS organisations including the UK AI Safety Institute, the European Commission, MATS, CeSIA, Safer AI and the Future of Life Institute.

TLDR: Take the population ethics quiz here: https://mdickens.me/pop-ethics/
Population ethics is an oft-overlooked subfield within ethics. Many people hold views that they don't realize contradict each other, or that have strange implications that they wouldn't endorse if they thought about it more.
Not just that—population ethics is a BIG DEAL. A lot of ethical decisions hinge on how you think about changes in future populations....
A preliminary estimate, and a request for better ones.
Summary
I believe the standard literature estimates for the number of DALYs attributable to a case of stunting are too low, largely because they don’t account for the long term effects. This means that childhood nutritional interventions that reduce the prevalence of stunting may be substantially more cost-effective than previously believed.

I’ve been feeling pretty shaken since the METR report about the Hugging Face incident came out last week. Over the weekend, I wrote up some thoughts on how lonely the AI situation sometimes feels to me. It’s more personal than what I’d usually share publicly, but I thought I’d post it here in case it resonates with anyone else.
I’m very grateful to the man...
