Arcadia Impact
Previous UK AISI employee experienced in frontier LLM evaluation, now looking to contribute to technical AI safety and reducing extinction risks from misaligned AGI systems.
The Summer 2022 cohort was MATS's first full-scale program, with 31 scholars and 7 mentors from leading AI safety organizations including OpenAI, ARC, MIRI, EleutherAI, and Aligned AI. The program ran 5 weeks online followed by 8 weeks in-person in Berkeley, where scholars conducted independent research under expert mentorship, participated in educational seminars, and built community with peers in the Berkeley AI safety ecosystem.
MATS was an excellent environment to get productive work done and a fantastic resource to improve my future impact in AI alignment. I made connections, learned a great deal about my mentor's subfield and alignment in general, and was fired up to keep working when I got back to Australia. Since MATS I've been funded for a project with a collaborator I met at MATS, and gotten significantly further in the hiring process for orgs than before.
