AI Safety at Wake Forest

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

Wake Forest has strong students and a small enough campus that one organizer is highly visible. It just needs a founding team. If that might be you, tell us about yourself and your interest in AI safety. Where we can help, we offer free early support with first steps, existing resources, or finding co-organizers.

Why Wake Forest.

Wake Forest is built around a strong, closely taught undergraduate experience, where a motivated student can reach a large share of the talented people on campus. On a campus this size, a founding organizer is visible in a way they never would be at a huge public university. Right now there isn’t an AI safety group here. Peer schools across the region, like UVA and Georgia Tech, already have one. Someone gets to be first, and Wake Forest 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.

Possible early support

We review your answers and consider where we can help with first steps, adapting existing resources, or finding co-organizers. Support is free; availability and format vary.

Outside programs

Pathfinder is one external program university-group organizers can explore. Outside programs make their own admission and funding decisions.
