AI Safety Göttingen

We are a technical reading group at University of Göttingen, gathering biweekly to discuss papers and blogs posts in AI safety.

Topics of interest include: emergent misalignment, benchmarks, alignment metrics, multi-agent interactions, chain of thought monitoring, scaling and autonomy (recursive self improvement, continual learning, long-horizon tasks), LLMs as moral patients, scary new tech, famous incidents, and many others (open to suggestions).
