This Spring, ML4Good bootcamps are coming to Western Europe, Central Europe, Canada, and South Africa! 

Join one of our 8-day, fully paid-for, in-person training bootcamps to build your career in AI safety. We’re looking for motivated people from a variety of backgrounds who are committed to working on making frontier AI safer.

Each bootcamp is a residential, full-time programme, and is divided into two tracks:

• Technical: For people with some technical background who are interested in moving into technical safety roles
• Governance & Strategy: For people looking to contribute to AI safety through policy, governance, strategy, operations, media, or field-building

ML4Good is targeted at people looking to start their career in AI safety, or transition into AI safety from another field. Our alumni have gone on to roles at leading AI safety organisations including the UK AI Safety Institute, the European Commission, MATS, CeSIA, Safer AI and the Centre for Human-Compatible AI.
