Fellowships

Getting into the field

Fellowships are how many people move into AI safety work, and most are open to people anywhere. These two guides, from people who’ve been through them, cover which ones to aim for and how to apply.

Which one

A Field Guide to AI Fellowships

By vivekstills, a recent Anthropic Fellow

Sorts fellowships into seven tracks, from research engineering and interpretability to policy and field-building. Includes a skills self-check and a directory of programs. Start by picking two or three tracks that appeal to you.

How to apply

How to apply to AI safety fellowships (and beyond)

By Boyd Kane, MATS fellow

Make your skills easy for reviewers to check, write for the reviewer, start with lower-stakes programs like ARENA, and treat rejections as feedback. Especially useful if you’re far from the Bay Area or London.

Programs, from first step to full-time

Most people start with a free course, then apply to a research or policy fellowship. Adapted from the programs directory in “A Field Guide to AI Fellowships.” Dates and stipends change every cycle, so check each program’s own page.

Lab research and residencies

Paid roles inside AI labs, often for students or career switchers.

Everything else

There are dozens more. AISafety.com keeps the full, current list.

AI governance beyond the frontier labs

Most countries, and most states, aren’t building frontier AI. These pieces ask what they can still do to shape it.
