We are pleased to announce that the 10th version of the AI Safety Camp is now entering the team member application phase!

We again have a wide range of projects this year, so check them out to see if you or someone you know might be interested in applying to join one of them.

You can find all of the projects and the application form on our website, or directly apply here. The deadline for team member applications is November 17th (Sunday).

Below, we are including the categories and summaries of all the projects that will run in AISC 10.

Stop/Pause AI

(1) Growing PauseAI

Project Lead: Chris Gerrby

Summary

This project focuses on creating internal and external guides for PauseAI to increase active membership. The outputs will be used by the team of volunteers with high context and engagement, including the key decision makers.
