AI Safety at Notre Dame

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

Notre Dame has the research, the students, and the drive to be one of the strongest AI safety communities in the country. It just needs a founding team. If that might be you, we help with mentorship, curriculum, and a path to funding. All free.

Why Notre Dame.

Notre Dame’s College of Engineering and its Department of Computer Science and Engineering put real machine learning research on campus, and the university draws driven, technically capable students who scatter into industry and research after graduation. That kind of talent at a major research university is exactly where an AI safety and alignment community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. Purdue, also in Indiana, already has a group; Notre Dame is a gap on the map.

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.

With support

Mentorship from organizers who have run these groups, a ready-made curriculum, and help finding co-founders and building a site.

And funding

A path to funding through the Pathfinder fellowship, for speakers, food, compute, and the group’s activities. Free to you, always.

Could you lead it?
