Description
We are now open to new volunteers to work with us in the lab. Volunteers can start with a low time commitment (2-5h/week), by committing to review and comment on existing standards contributions we are developing.
A next step, requiring a larger time commitment (5-10h/week), is to author or co-author a new contribution, by leveraging some part of the safety literature and using our style guide. Authors will need to have some basic knowledge of AI technology and safety or quality engineering, but they do not need to be subject matter experts in the literature concerned. We of course also welcome contributions from volunteers who are deep subject matter experts in a specific field, and who want to convert the latest insights from their field into standards text.
Also, we welcome volunteers who want to use our lab as a potential stepping stone towards joining a formal standards organization to participate in a formal AI safety standards writing effort.
