“Arkose is closing, but you can help” by Arkose

Arkose is an AI safety fieldbuilding organisation that supports experienced machine learning professionals — such as professors and research engineers — to engage with the field. We focus on those new to AI safety, and have strong evidence that our work helps them take meaningful first steps.

Since December 2023, we’ve held nearly 300 one-on-one calls with senior machine learning researchers and engineers. In follow-up surveys, 79% reported that the call accelerated their involvement in AI safety[1]. Nonetheless, we’re at serious risk of shutting down in the coming weeks due to a lack of funding. Several funders have told us that we’re close to meeting their bar, but not quite there, leaving us in a precarious position. Without immediate support, we won’t be able to continue this work.

If you're interested in supporting Arkose, or would like to learn more, please reach out here or email victoria@arkose.org.
