AI Safety x Physics Grand Challenge Starts Tomorrow

Join the AI Safety x Physics Grand Challenge starting July 25-27. Apply physics methodologies to AI safety problems with expert mentors and resources. Register now!

The AI Safety x Physics Grand Challenge is set to begin tomorrow, July 25-27. Participants can still register for both remote and in-person participation.

The Challenge applies rigorous physics methodologies to critical AI safety problems, including:

  • Neural network scaling laws and phase transitions
  • Statistical mechanics of AI behavior prediction
  • Renormalization group approaches to interpretability
  • Uncertainty quantification for rare failure modes

Participants will have access to:

  • $400 compute credits per team (Lambda Labs)
  • OpenAI API access for LLM experiments
  • Expert mentors, including SLT researchers and interpretability experts
  • Two tracks: Project implementation and Research exploration

Registration is open for physicists, AI researchers, and those with a quantitative background interested in technical AI safety. Register now.
