ERA Fellowship
The ERA Fellowship
The ERA Fellowship is an 8-week talent programme, which trains researchers & entrepreneurs to mitigate technical and governance risks posed by frontier AI systems: from building robust evaluation frameworks and interpretability tools, to developing model access policies and coordinating international safety standards. ERA provides hands-on mentorship from industry organisations including UK AISI, RAND, and Google DeedMind to help our fellows build the skills and networks necessary to make progress on open problems in mitigating risks from advanced AI.
