This role is on our board because we think it is an unusually effective way to spend a career. How we reason about it
Free to leave the Netherlands? Look at 80,000 Hours, Probably Good and EA Opportunities first — the strongest opportunities are there. Why we say this
This board is still in beta. The reason below is our judgement — tell us if you think we have it wrong. Give feedback
Why this is on the board
When FAR.AI finds a weak spot in a new AI model, developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic adjust their safeguards and regulators in the EU follow. This role builds the team and the systems that let research like that happen at every major model release, rather than at a single one.
About the role
FAR.AI http://FAR.AI is a non-profit AI research institute working to ensure advanced AI is safe and beneficial for everyone. Our mission is to facilitate breakthrough AI safety research, advance global understanding of AI risks and solutions, and foster a coordinated global response.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
