The Cambridge AI Safety Hub would like to invite the exceptional students of the Mathematical Institute to apply to the upcoming iteration of the Mentorship for Alignment Researchers (MARS), an AI safety fellowship that matches exceptional students and early-career researchers with experienced researchers and academics from AI labs, think tanks, and academia. Despite "Cambridge" in our name, the in-person sprint week of MARS V will take place in Oxford in mid-July, so we are especially excited to see Oxford students apply!

If anyone is interested get in touch with them (and let Dyrol know). Presumably Trinity being Trinity, they are all mathematicians anyway.
