AI Safety at Boston College

There isn’t an AI safety group at Boston College yet. We’re looking for the people to lead one.

Boston College sits in one of the country’s densest AI and tech hubs, with thousands of technical students who could build a serious AI safety community. It just needs a founding team. If that might be you, tell us about yourself and your interest in AI safety. Where we can help, we offer free early support with first steps, existing resources, or finding co-organizers.

I’m interested Free support, subject to fit and availability

Why Boston College.

Boston College sits in greater Boston, one of the world’s deepest concentrations of AI research and the companies building frontier systems. A technically capable student body next to the industry actually shipping these systems is exactly where an AI safety and alignment community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. Neighbors like Harvard, MIT, and Tufts already have groups. Boston College is a gap on the map, and someone gets to be the first to fill it.

What you’d be starting.

A real group

A reading group working through alignment research, a cohort running an AI safety fundamentals course, or a technical team building projects. You decide the shape.

Possible early support

We review your answers and consider where we can help with first steps, adapting existing resources, or finding co-organizers. Support is free; availability and format vary.

Outside programs

Pathfinder is one external program university-group organizers can explore. Outside programs make their own admission and funding decisions.
