By miller-max @ 2025-04-14T14:47 (+15)

For anyone who would like to spend 5 months "estimating AI X-risk" (including sceptics) and get handsomely paid for it.

Open tender by the Institute for Technology and Assessment and Impact Analysis at KIT (Germany):

Context to the open call

• Project period: ~May 20 - October 20, 2025

Interesting for anyone who wants to "cause-prioritise Al" (in a way, this tender aims to get to a p(doom)) and get paid for it (25-60/h+) 💵. Kind of like the AI Safety Summit report but specifically for x-risk.

I've started writing a proposal, my thesis was on exactly this topic, so I am just expanding on this.

• 🫵 I'm looking for someone to join me/happy to join someone else
  (=> essentially reviewing evidence of instrumental convergence, which is not a big pool of papers to look at)

📥 Just write me a message - including if you want to learn more!

I'll be active here (pls have a low bar for reaching out, and do spread the word!)
