The MATS Program aims to find and train talented individuals for what we see as the world’s most urgent and talent-constrained problem: reducing risks from unaligned artificial intelligence. We are actively hiring in a variety of roles to advance our mission.
“This place feels like a home to me - a home for the whole AI Safety community, really. I joined MATS (…) as a research manager and it's been an extremely rewarding professional experience. My learning, personal growth, and positive impact per unit of time have been way higher than I anticipated. I'm so proud to have been part of what MATS is building - it really is a force for good in the world!”
