We are the HPI AI Safety Initiative.

HAIS is a group of students at the Hasso Plattner Institute dedicated to reducing the risks of future AI systems. We are here to help talented students become researchers and policymakers in AI safety.

Want to get involved? Join our group and drop a message in the introductions channel. We are open to HPI students and all people from Potsdam.
