CAIF is seeking proposals for work to improve our ability to evaluate cooperation-relevant features of AI systems. Examples of such work include theoretical contributions on how to define and measure key Cooperative AI concepts, and practical contributions such as benchmark environments and datasets. Anyone is eligible to apply, and we welcome applications from disciplines outside of computer science.

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.
