Grand Challenges

Months-long programs on hard, open problems in AI safety. Teams take on one problem, with experts, compute and prizes.

Some problems need more than a weekend

  1. Register

    Sign up or apply, alone or with a team.

  2. Work on the problem

    Weeks to months of focused work, mostly remote.

  3. Finals or showcase

    Teams present their results at the end, in person or online.

No AI safety background needed. Each challenge sets its own format and dates.
