Sam Clarke

Supporting Jess Whittlestone's work on a project regarding 'mid-term AI impacts'.

Sam applied for funding to cover relocation expenses from New Zealand to Cambridge, UK, in order to begin his role there as a research assistant supporting Jess Whittlestone's work at the Centre for the Future of Intelligence, which we have supported in the past. The fund generally tries to avoid paying for costs that we would expect employers to cover, to avoid creating bad incentives. In this case, however, Cambridge University apparently only covers moving expenses for contracts over 2 years, and this is a 1-year position. We therefore decided that this was a reasonable use of funds.
