Thanks.
Jacob Tsimerman gave Iliad a shoutout on https://mathforaisafety.org/organizations. Maybe another useful resource / webpage.
a) Thank you for creating this overview. I see a lot of mathematicians who were previously not following the AI (safety) space suddenly being very interested due to recent events. Hope they stumble across this post in their search.
b) Can you please include our Iliad programs to the list as they are a perfect fit? We are primarily looking for mathematicians.
The Iliad Intensive: A four-week, full-time taught course on foundational alignment research for researchers with backgrounds in math, theoretical physics, computer science, or related disciplines.

We notify people about their application outcome within 2 weeks of the deadline (for deadline see our website). The November Intensive deadline is the 28 September.
There was a bug with out email confirmation triggering. This should now be fixed. If you have any questions about your application please email admissions@iliad.ac
Re Alumni:
For our first Fellowship/Residency cohort (January), we can track that two-thirds are now in alignment research roles. People doing the Intensive often go on to continuing roles within AI safety as well. Destinations include Iliad's own internal research teams, XOR Labs, Stormglass, Principia, ACS, the Alignment Journal, CHAI, Simplex, Resolution, and other fellowships like PIBBSS, Astra etc.
Public examples: Dan MacKinlay co-founding the Alignment Journal and Augustin Lafay joining Simplex.
We have internally followed up with our alumni on what t... (read more)
