FAR. AI is a research and education non-profit organization focused on ensuring advanced artificial intelligence is safe and beneficial for everyone. It conducts technical research on robustness, deception, interpretability, and evaluation of frontier AI systems, runs events and workshops that convene academic and industry leaders, and operates programs (like FAR. Labs and grantmaking) to support researchers and build capacity in trustworthy AI. FAR. AI also publishes findings, provides training and policy-facing convenings, and collaborates with universities and agencies to advance secure, aligned AI.

📋 Description

• Design agendas for FAR.AI’s events portfolio (estimated 12+ events per year), from theory of change through to session structure, speaker selection, and attendee composition. • Propose speakers and attendees with genuine judgment about who will move a conversation forward. • Read a draft speaker list and immediately see who is missing; read a draft agenda and immediately see what is not quite right. • Ensure programming reflects the current state of the field and anticipates where it is heading, working with FAR.AI’s in-house research team to pressure-test content decisions. • Take considered bets on emerging topics and innovative formats, and make the intellectual case for them. • Own the content framing for each event developing event theory of change documents, briefing notes, and framing materials that give the programme a clear intellectual spine. • Lead the speaker invitation and engagement process, including drafting outreach, managing speaker preparation, and ensuring speakers are well-positioned to contribute to the event's goals. • Produce written content that extends the reach of FAR.AI’s events: framing documents, research summaries, speaker briefings, and post-event reports. • Develop participant strategies for each event, identifying the stakeholders, expertise, and perspectives required to achieve the event's objectives. • Track which relationships need tending, which conversations should continue, and which outputs are worth pursuing after each event. • Build and maintain relationships with senior researchers, lab representatives, policymakers, and field-builders across the AI safety ecosystem.

🎯 Requirements

• Extensive experience designing agendas for technical, academic, or policy-focused events; with a track record of programs that were intellectually ambitious, not just well-organized • Demonstrated ability to translate a strategic goal into a session structure, a speaker list, and a room composition that will actually achieve it • Sharp instincts about who should be in the room and what the conversation needs; developed through years of working closely with researchers, practitioners, or policymakers • Genuine familiarity with the AI safety field; its key questions, key players, and current debates • A track record of original written output event framing documents, research summaries, essays, reports, or equivalent; that demonstrates depth of thinking and a clear point of view • Proven ability to work with high-status or technical stakeholders and manage complex relationships with care • Comfortable proposing ideas that feel ambitious or unconventional and making the intellectual case for them to senior people • Proficiency in project management tools (e.g. Asana, Coda, Airtable) • Strong motivation to contribute to AI safety and the future of the field.
