Fellowships
Our fellowships are 8-week, in-person reading groups that meet for 1.5hrs/wk. Fellows can either participate in a group with no outside readings or do ~1 hour of required pre-reading each week plus a capstone project
Each semester we run two fellowships:
- Technical Fellowship : Covers the foundations of frontier AI technology. Topics include model interpretability, goal misgeneralization, reinforcement learning, oversight, red-teaming, and more.
- Policy Fellowship : Discusses governance and policy solutions for problems posed by transformative AI systems. We read draft legislation, dissect governance frameworks, and develop a basic understanding of the social, political, and technical challenges of AI.
The fellowships are open to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs. Catered lunch/dinner from local restaurants is provided. Please direct questions to contact@tassa.dev .
