What progress have you made since your last update?
We received over 1,100 applications during our fellowship application window (December 15 to January 9). On January 11, we started an online AI safety and alignment training track using the ARENA curriculum for our Slack community, with 40 participants. We are also seeing strong early interest in our Research Arm, with 103 people signed up for our January 12 info session.
What are your next steps?
We are reviewing applications now and will begin shortlisting candidates this week. In parallel, we are launching the Research Arm and onboarding the first set of projects and mentors.
Is there anything others could help you with?
Yes. We need funding, additional mentors, and advisors, especially people who can supervise projects in AI safety, AI security, or AI governance.
