Questions

Do I have to be in India?
No. Anyone can apply.
I have not started learning yet. Should I apply?
Advice lands better when you have context to attach it to. Try the AI Safety Atlas or BlueDot’s courses first, then come back. Our AI safety career guide for India is a good place to start too.
I have no ML background. Should I apply?
Yes, if you have done the reading. Governance work often has no ML requirement, and there are technical paths that start from a non-ML background.
Can you get me a job?
No. We can help you work out what to do next and where to look, and introduce you to someone useful.
Can I apply again later?
Yes. If your situation changes, apply again.
