AI Safety Argentina — Research Scholarships

[Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $77,000 to AI Safety Argentina to support a 6-month AI safety scholarship program at the University of Buenos Aires’ Institute of Computer Science. Organized by Iván Arcuschin and Agustín Martinez Suñé, the program will connect university students with established researchers at the University for mentorship and collaboration on AI Safety projects. This program aims to incubate promising talent while also encouraging the development of AI safety research in the University. This grant was funded via a request for work that builds capacity to address risks from transformative AI. This falls within our focus area of Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building.
