Building Germany’s infrastructure for safer AI

SAIGE was the main reason why I have decided to pivot to AI Safety two years earlier than I had originally planned: It was the perfect part-time experiment to test whether I might enjoy working in AI safety.

I’ve been very impressed by the mentees I’ve worked with through SAIGE. Both submissions were accepted to NeurIPS workshops, with one selected for an oral presentation.

The SAIGE incubator gave me the experience and skills I needed to transition into the field full-time. My mentor provided invaluable ideas and challenges throughout the project, and helped me grow my network.

The SAIGE event ‘Talent Needs in AI Safety’ was my entry point into the field. […] Just ten weeks after our first call with SAIGE, AI Safety Hamburg had its biggest meeting to date.

My team and mentor shared my motivation to make AI risks tangible for a general audience. It feels empowering to go from ‘worried’ to ‘working on it.’
