London AI Safety Research (LASR)
London AI Safety Research Labs is a technical AI Safety research programme focussed on reducing the risk of loss of control to advanced AI. We focus on action-relevant questions tackling concrete threat models. Participants work in teams of three to four, supervised by an experienced AI safety researcher, to write an academic-style paper and accompanying blog post. Teams work full-time and in person from the London Initiative for Safe AI. The programme is designed to “learn by doing”; taking a research project from proposal all the way to publication. We expect LASR Labs to be a good fit for applicants looking to join technical AI safety teams in the next year. Alumni from previous cohorts have gone on to work at UK AISI, OpenAI’s dangerous capabilities evals team, Leap Labs, and def/acc. Many more have continued working with their supervisors, doing independent research, or are doing AI Safety research in their PhD programmes.
