Organizers

Organizers work most closely with the people and projects behind the group: collaborating with AI safety professionals and guest speakers, shaping our programs, and gaining hands-on experience building the AI safety field at UCSB. The role requires sustained ownership, but it is the most direct way to develop leadership experience and contribute to the organization.
