Digital Minds Research Sprint

Join the Cape Town hub for the Digital Minds Research Sprint hosted by Apart Research!This is an opportunity to design and run experiments that probe the preferences, welfare signals, introspective abilities, and identity of frontier AI models, working in teams to produce a short research report (and optionally code and a demo).This is a digital minds hackathon: it sits at the intersection of AI welfare, digital sentience, interpretability, alignment, and the philosophy of mind, and asks whether today's AI systems have genuine preferences or morally relevant experiences. No prior background in the field is required.Schedule:If you want to participate at the in-person event in Cape Town, you will need to register for this luma event.
