  • We are funding Benedikt to work on technical AI safety research with Sören Mindermann and Jan Brauner in Yarin Gal's group at Oxford. Benedikt published several papers in philosophy during his undergraduate degree, and switched to ML research during his Master's in Computer Science after speaking to 80,000 Hours. I think Benedikt has a promising career ahead of him, and that this research experience will help him get into top PhD programs or other research-focused positions.
