  on: MIRI Sum­mer Fel­lows Program

  We’re also currently accepting applicants for our AI Risk for Computer Scientists program. While both programs are co-run by MIRI and CFAR staff, and both focus on rationality plus AI safety content, there are some essential differences:
  • Length: MSFP runs for two weeks while AIRCS is five days long.
  • Frequency: MSFP occurs once a year, while AIRCS happens about once every two months.
  • Focus: While MSFP has a larger focus on math, AIRCS has a larger focus on computer science.
  • Participants: MSFP is more targeted toward people interested in Embedded Agency sub-problems

  I agree, Jeff. I’ve updated the page accordingly.

  Thank you for your identity confirmation investigations. How confident are you that individual donations of more than $2,499 will be matched during the event itself?
