- Science of AI - understanding and controlling AI systems to mitigate and manage potential risks from advanced AI. Improve AI reliability and performance in areas of limited commercial interest and market failure. Existing programs include AI2050 and Science of Trustworthy AI.
- Beneficial AI - providing scientific foundations and datasets for understanding the larger human impacts of AI. This includes selected high-impact grantmaking, such as our programs to use AI to accelerate humanities research, and to quantify the impact of AI on the labor market.
We are looking to hire up to 3 associates to support the following programs:
The Science of Trustworthy AI: This program aims to support technical research that improves our ability to understand, predict, and control risks from frontier AI systems while simultaneously enabling their trustworthy deployment.
Interpretability: This program funds basic and applied AI interpretability research, focusing on detecting deceptive model behaviors like sycophancy and knowingly harmful advice, enabling us to inspect what models are thinking and not just what they say, and better judge when their outputs can be trusted.
AI For Science: These programs support the development of AI to improve how scientists generate hypotheses, conduct experiments, analyze data, and produce new knowledge - and do this in a way that specifically accelerates the discovery process.
Agents: This program supports researchers in academia and nonprofits who are exploring how multiple intelligent agents communicate and coordinate with one another.
AI2050: This program aims to support exceptional people working on the key opportunities and hard problems that are critical to get right for society to benefit from artificial intelligence.
The Role
The Associate will join the growing Center team to support existing and emerging grantmaking programs. Initially, they will support the strategic and operational necessities of the growing AI and Advanced Computing team.
This role would be responsible for the following elements of the Center's work. The specific work would be developed jointly by the Associate and their manager and may change from time to time.
