AI Safety at U Minnesota
There isn’t an AI safety group at U Minnesota yet. We’re looking for the people to lead one.
The University of Minnesota has tens of thousands of technical students, more than enough to 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 U Minnesota.
The College of Science and Engineering makes Minnesota a serious technical university, with tens of thousands of students studying exactly the fields an AI safety community draws from. A student body that large, in a school with real engineering depth, is exactly where such a community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. Regional peers like Wisconsin and UChicago already have groups. Minnesota 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.
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?
