Most scholars will attend the Research Phase in person in Berkeley June–August. A few mentors are UK-based, so some scholars may work from the London office, and London is also available as a fallback if a US visa cannot be secured.
Description
The MATS Program is a 12-week research fellowship connecting emerging researchers with top mentors in AI alignment, interpretability, governance, and security.
- Fellows conduct independent research, attend talks, workshops, and networking events, and receive mentorship from leading experts.
- Multiple research tracks are available, including technical governance, empirical, policy & strategy, theory, and compute governance.
- The program runs in Berkeley, CA and London, UK, with an extension phase in London for accepted fellows.
- Open to applicants from diverse academic and professional backgrounds; strong motivation for AI safety and technical aptitude are key requirements.
Visa requirements are not specified on the source page.
