Global Challenges Project is running a workshop on AI safety and biosecurity in Boston the weekend of October 18th. I attended GCP in January with Elena, Reyna, and Armie, and can’t recommend it enough. I got to know many lovely, accomplished people from around the world, and had a weekend’s worth of fascinating conversations with them in groups and 1 on 1. Four experts gave presentations on their research, then hung around for hours to chat. GCP was my first contact with EA outside of Williams, and let’s just say I was very impressed with the event planning know-how (good vegan food).
Unfortunately, the deadline to apply is September 8th, before the Purple Key Fair and our kickoff community dinner, so we won’t be able to give y’all the “hard sell” in person. That being said: apply! Hopefully, Williams EA will send a big enough cohort that we can do a carpool again. — best, Wyatt Smith
