Mid-Atlantic AI Alignment Alliance Unconference

Deadline: The previous deadline was January 25th, but we are still accepting applications.

When and Where: We are inviting people who could foreseeably take a day trip to Philadelphia to an unconference on February 11th.

By unconference, we mean: There will be about four separate areas with whiteboards, a blank grid at the beginning of the day where the rows are timeslots and the columns are the whiteboard areas, and people fill in the schedule on the fly with their sessions.

By AI alignment, we roughly mean: Threatmodel-driven research agendas: people trying to prevent software from doing really bad things. We're expecting mostly CS and math people, but welcome more governancey people as well.

Funding: Food will be provided and is funded by the recent AI Safety Microgrant round. Travel support is not in the budget this time around, however we may be able to gather funds to support 1-3 people traveling from within the mid-Atlantic region who could not attend otherwise.

Why fill out this form: We are mildly gatekeeping the event, and RSVPs are critical due to keycard access to venue. Please fill out this form if you'd like to attend or are considering it.

Questions: Send to Brittany at brittany.gelb@rutgers.edu
