The AI Safety Institute is a directorate of the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology that facilitates rigorous research to enable advanced AI governance.

They are seeking applications focused on a range of safety-related problems: this could involve monitoring and anticipating AI use and misuse in society, or the risks they expose in certain sectors. They want to see applications that could enhance understanding of how government could intervene where needed – with new infrastructure and technical innovations – to make society more resilient to AI-related risks.

Benefits of working with the AI Safety Institute

  • Access to technical experts in the field of AI Safety, working with researchers who have previously worked at OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Cambridge University.
  • Access to compute infrastructure to drive forward projects and applications into tangible and innovative solutions.
  • A supportive community across Government and research organisations to promote systemic wide interventions in AI Safety.
