Swiss AI Safety Summer Camp
The Swiss AI Safety Summer Camp is a volunteer-run educational program held in Switzerland that provides a gateway into AI safety for students and early-career researchers. Participants engage in deep learning courses, paper readings, lectures by AI risk researchers, and independent projects across technical and conceptual tracks covering alignment, mechanistic interpretability, and governance. The camp is free and includes housing, meals, and transportation assistance. It prioritizes diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups.

Theory of Change
The camp aims to reduce existential risk from AI by expanding the pipeline of researchers and practitioners working on AI safety. By providing free, high-quality in-person training to students and early-career researchers, it lowers barriers to entering the field and builds a community of safety-oriented practitioners. Participants gain both technical skills (interpretability, governance) and conceptual grounding in the alignment problem, making them more likely to pursue careers in AI safety.
