AI Safety at UNC Chapel Hill
There isn’t an AI safety group at UNC Chapel Hill yet. We’re looking for the people to lead one.
UNC Chapel Hill has the research, the students, and the proximity to industry 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 UNC Chapel Hill.
UNC’s computer science department and its seat in Research Triangle Park put it in close reach of real machine learning research and the companies building on it. That combination, a large technical student body next to an industry corridor, is exactly where an AI safety and alignment community belongs. Right now there isn’t one. UVA, just up the road in Charlottesville, already has a group, and the Triangle, home to three major research universities, has none. UNC 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?
