AI Safety for Builders: Speaker Session with Ankur Pandey
Want to build AI safety, not just read about it?

What to expect
AI safety has a lot of research. It has very few tools that people actually use. If AI is going to go well, we need safety solutions that are built and deployed. That needs builders.
Ankur Pandey will talk about the building side of AI safety. This session is also the first look at AI Safety for Builders, a new micro fellowship he is starting.
What Ankur will cover
- 01The gap. Programmes like MATS, SPAR and MARS train researchers. There is still no tools-first programme for builders.
- 02Where tools are missing. Evaluators for frontier models, multi-agent safety, incident reporting, harms to vulnerable groups, and tools for the Global South. See example tools.
- 03Why India. A strong build-stuff culture, and a voice for middle powers.
- 04The fellowship. 4 weeks, online, part-time, free. Small teams of 2-5 ship one open-source safety tool.
- 05How to get involved. As a fellow, as a mentor, or by bringing a tool idea.
Who should come
Engineers, developers, product people, and researchers who want their work turned into real tools. No AI safety background needed.
