AI Safety at UC Davis
There isn’t an AI safety group at UC Davis yet. We’re looking for the people to lead one.
UC Davis has one of the largest student bodies in the UC system, tens of thousands of technical students who could build a serious AI safety community. It just needs a founding team. If that might be you, we help with mentorship, curriculum, and a path to funding. All free.

Why UC Davis.
The College of Engineering has grown fast, and UC Davis sits close enough to the Bay Area that its students are already surrounded by people building frontier AI. That combination, a large technical student body near the industry actually shipping these systems, is exactly where an AI safety and alignment community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. Nearby schools like Berkeley and Stanford already have groups; UC Davis 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?
