AI Safety Argentina
AI Safety Argentina (AISAR) runs a competitive 6-month research fellowship at the University of Buenos Aires' Institute of Computer Science (UBA-ICC), placing up to six scholars on part-time AI safety research projects under the guidance of experienced mentors. Scholars receive a monthly stipend and a compute budget while participating in seminars with international AI safety researchers. The program focuses on areas such as mechanistic interpretability, LLM evaluations, scalable oversight, and safety-by-design. It is organized by Iván Arcuschin and Agustín Martinez Suñé and is fiscally sponsored by Ashgro Inc., with initial funding from Open Philanthropy.

Theory of Change
AISAR bets that growing local AI safety talent in Argentina is a high-leverage intervention: by providing stipends, compute resources, mentorship, and structured research experience to promising students at UBA, the program aims to produce researchers who go on to contribute to the global AI safety field. Placing Argentine researchers in fellowship programs and academic positions expands the international talent pool working on alignment and safety problems, increasing the probability of good safety outcomes as AI systems become more capable.
