CAIF is seeking proposals for work to improve our ability to evaluate cooperation-relevant features of AI systems.

Call for Proposals

CAIF is hosting a fortnightly seminar series on New Directions in Cooperative AI, in which we invite leading thinkers to offer their vision for research on cooperative AI. Unlike typical academic talks, these seminars are explicitly agenda-setting, describing a line of work that many researchers could pursue and that CAIF could support. We are currently accepting proposals for new talks.
