If you are interested in decision theory, reasoning under uncertainty, or other areas discussed in our research guide, you’re welcome to get in touch with us through our application form.

The quickest ways to get involved are:

MIRIx Events: From casual dinner conversations about MIRI papers to multi-day research workshops, MIRIx events are independently-organized MIRI-funded discussion groups. Anyone can become a MIRIx event organizer, and in some cases we’ll be able to help answer questions, lead discussion, or give recommendations regarding MIRIx events.

Forum: The online Agent Foundations Research Forum hosts active discussions and unpolished, preliminary results related to long-term AI alignment research. If you’re a new visitor, you’ll be able to start discussions by submitting external links that you have made.

Workshops: We host occasional multi-day math research workshops in the US and Europe. Past workshops have resulted in papers about probabilistic logic, program equilibrium, and obstacles to consistent self-reflection. We’ll notify accepted workshop attendees when relevant workshops are scheduled to take place, which can be many months down the line.

If you are interested in any of the above programs or opportunities, please apply below so we can chat with you about your specific interests and availability.

AI Risk for Computer Scientists Workshops: We’re running a series of four-day workshops to provide a gathering place for discussion and to introduce some thinking tools for computer scientists interested in reasoning about AI risk. The material at the workshop is a mixture of human rationality content and a variety of topics related to AI risk, including thinking about forecasting, different ideas of where the technical problems are, and various potential research paths.
