About Us

We are a student-led initiative that aims to empower students and academics to reduce risk from advanced AI, by:

Raising Awareness

Through discussion groups, seminars and speaker events.

Upskilling Members

In safety techniques through workshops and 1-1 support

Fostering Community

For high-quality discussion, support and connections to the wider field of AI safety

Our Impact

Our members have published in top AI and law conferences, participated in MATS, LASR Labs, and gone on to study AI ethics at Cambridge.
