We're a group of MIT students conducting research to reduce risk from advanced AI.

We think that reducing risks from advanced artificial intelligence may be one of the most important problems of our time. We also think it’s a highly interesting and exciting problem, with open opportunities for many more researchers to make progress on it.

MAIA supports undergraduate and graduate students in conducting research relevant to reducing risks from advanced AI.

We also run a semester-long introductory reading group on AI safety, including both a technical machine learning track and a policy track.
