MATS Research
MATS is an independent research and educational seminar program that aims to grow AI alignment, transparency, and security.
The MATS Program is an independent research and educational seminar program that connects talented researchers with top mentors in the fields of AI alignment, transparency, and security. The program runs for 12 weeks with in-person cohorts in Berkeley and London, where MATS fellows conduct research while attending talks, workshops, and networking events with other members of the AI research community.
MATS aims to find and train talented individuals for what we see as the world’s most urgent and talent-constrained problem: reducing risks from unaligned artificial intelligence (AI). We believe that ambitious researchers from a variety of backgrounds have the potential to meaningfully contribute to the field of alignment research. We aim to provide the training, logistics, and community necessary to aid this transition. We also connect our scholars with financial support to ensure their financial security.
