About AIXI Labs Research Fellowship Scholarship
AIXI Labs is a small, London-based non-profit doing AI safety research grounded in algorithmic information theory. Most AI research today is either mathematically clean but narrow, or practical but too opaque for rigorous safety analysis. We target a third category: methods general enough to describe powerful agents and provable enough to support real safety claims — using AIXI, the theoretical model of unbounded artificial superintelligence — then port the strongest of these ideas to modern LLM-based agents.
Benefits of AIXI Labs Research Fellowship Scholarship
- Monthly stipend of £2,000 – £3,500.
- Dedicated compute budget for machine learning experiments.
- Close mentorship from Cole Wyeth, Marcus Hutter, and Aram Ebtekar.
- Opportunity to publish papers, blog posts, and outputs for the AI safety and ML communities.
- Remote work allowed from anywhere in the world or from AIXI Labs’ London base.
AIXI Labs Research Fellowship Scholarship Requirements
- Research background at the level of a current PhD student; a master’s-level command of mathematics plus substantial industry or applied research experience may also qualify for empirical projects.
- Solid grounding in probability, statistics, information theory, and reinforcement learning, sufficient to engage with AIXI-style theoretical models.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Genuine motivation to reduce existential risk from advanced AI and enthusiasm for AIXI Labs’ work.
- Preferred: publications at top ML/AI/theory venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ALT, COLT).
- Preferred: background in algorithmic information theory, computability theory, learning theory, or related theoretical CS.
- Preferred: experience fine-tuning, evaluating, or red-teaming LLM-based and/or RL agents.
- Preferred: prior engagement with the UAI/AIXI community or related fields.
