Company Description
The AI X-risk Institute (AIXI Labs) specializes in modeling AI risk factors and designing safety mitigations in the framework of Solomonoff induction and AIXI. Renowned as the leading mathematical model for artificial superintelligence, AIXI represents the theoretical maximum of AI capabilities.
Focus
If you have been closely engaged with AIXI, AIT, ML, and/or the www.uaiasi.com community, you should consider applying! There is a good chance we can find a research match, since we are interested in supporting a variety of work in this area with significant (academic-style) freedom. However, AIXI Labs is ultimately focused on pursuing our ASI safety agenda based on UAI, and we will prefer candidates who are excited about this type of work (and/or interested in decreasing X-risk from ASI). Refer to our website (www.aixi.uk) for more details about our approach.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Qualifications
The median applicant we have in mind is a computer science PhD student, but anyone at roughly this level with a background in AIT OR [an interest in AIT and strong ML skills] should consider applying. We require communication skills and clear thinking about ambiguous topics.
Structure
We plan to run this program quarterly (every 3 months) with a rolling application. Successful fellows may (in rare cases) return for later iterations. Previous applicants will also be considered for later rounds, so it is encouraged to apply now even if you can’t start right away!
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Benefits
We will offer a varying stipend (expected to be £2,000-3,500/month) and optionally assistance relocating to London. For ML-focused projects, we can also offer a moderate compute budget. Fellows will work closely with Cole Wyeth, Aram Ebtekar, and Marcus Hutter on research relevant to AI safety.
Acknowledgements
These fellowships are supported as part of the UK AISI’s Alignment Project (thanks to the AI Safety Tactical Opportunities Fund).
