Make seminal AI safety essays, big ideas and catastrophe scenarios accessible to non-technical people through video.
ApplySix months for young Africans transitioning into AI and AI safety. The hardest six months of their lives.
Register interestAn intensive residency, taught by working practitioners, for people who will build at the frontier of AI and robotics.
Evaluations of frontier models in African languages, interpretability research, and policy written for the offices that will use it.
Reading groups, cohorts and gatherings that put researchers, engineers and students from across the continent in the same room.
Funded and cohort based. We take people who are already exceptional and give them the training, mentorship and proximity to become world class.
The hardest six months of a young African's life. For people transitioning into AI and AI safety. Challenge yourself to learn machine learning fundamentals, interpretability, reinforcement learning, LLM evaluation or AI security.
Learn moreSeveral curated fellowships. Emerging African researchers paired with senior advisors in interpretability, evaluations, alignment and communication.
Learn moreWe place our people where the work is: global fellowships, labs, companies, research groups, ministries and regulators.
Learn more“Across history, intelligence helped humanity survive. Superintelligence could help us create abundance. The internet transformed China and India within a generation. AI could do something even bigger for Africa, if we prioritise safety.”
AI and robotics could compress decades of development into years, in health, agriculture, manufacturing and public administration. Africa stands to gain more from that than anywhere.
There is global demand for skilled people to fill AI safety roles, and not enough of them. Africa has a deep pool of resilient, hardworking talent that can fill those roles worldwide once it is given the training and the backing.
Train people to build at the frontier, and to build safely. Place them where the decisions are made. Keep them connected outward.
Find exceptional people and move them into high-impact AI and safety roles.
Take capable engineers to working competence in ML, robotics and safety.
Embed fellows in labs, companies, ministries and regulators making the calls.
Bring the field together across borders, and keep it connected outward.
Occasional updates on cohorts, residencies and openings across the continent.
