Rosie Campbell (Eleos)
Eleos AI Research is a nonprofit working to ensure the interests of AI systems are appropriately taken into account as we navigate transformative AI. We are looking for competent generalists to help scale up our AI welfare field-building by running high-impact events, or to otherwise amplify our research, communications, and operational capacity.
Stream overview
Eleos AI Research is a nonprofit working to ensure the interests of AI systems are appropriately taken into account as we navigate transformative AI.
We’re particularly excited about fellows expanding our ability to run field-building events. For example:
- Law x AI welfare workshop: We’re interested in running a workshop bringing together legal experts to discuss issues related to AI welfare. Topics could include AI legal personhood and recent state-level bills.
- Constellation digital minds strategy working group: A working group on digital minds at Constellation helped shape many of the early AI welfare actions taken by frontier labs like Anthropic. We’d like to relaunch this group and make it as effective as possible for the current state of the field.
We’re also open to other projects that advance Eleos’s current priorities, which include:
- Communicating effectively while maintaining nuance and rigor (e.g. refining our messaging, revamping our website, developing a comms strategy)
- Scaling up our operational capacity (e.g. optimizing our internal processes, making better use of AI, developing a CRM)
- Advancing and amplifying our empirical research (e.g. providing project management support for research projects, running an RFP)
- Expanding our engagement with frontier labs (e.g. analyzing levers of influence, building relationships, finding opportunities to provide value)
