AI Safety at Ohio State
There isn’t an AI safety group at Ohio State yet. We’re looking for the people to lead one.
Ohio State has tens of thousands of students and one of the largest engineering colleges 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 Ohio State.
Ohio State’s College of Engineering is among the largest anywhere, and its computer science and engineering department turns out serious technical talent at real scale. That combination, thousands of capable students in a program built for exactly this kind of work, is where an AI safety and alignment community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. Nearby schools like UMich and Purdue already have groups. Someone gets to be first here, and Ohio State 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?
