MAIA

We think that reducing risks from advanced artificial intelligence may be one of the most important problems of our time. We also think it’s a highly interesting and exciting problem, with open opportunities for many more researchers to make progress on it.

MAIA supports undergraduate and graduate students at MIT in conducting research relevant to reducing risks from advanced AI.

We also run a semester-long introductory reading group on AI safety, covering topics like neural network interpretability, learning from human feedback, goal misgeneralization in reinforcement learning agents, and eliciting latent knowledge.
