The Technical AI Governance Challenge - Bay Area - Apart Research

​The Technical AI Governance Challenge - Bay Area

​Building technical tools for International AI Governance alongside 500+ builders globally.

​The Event

​The hardware that trains frontier AI systems can be tracked. Training runs leave compute signatures. Safety evaluations can generate cryptographic proofs. International verification mechanisms exist and work. But we lack the practical tools to implement them at scale. Join us in the Bay for a weekend hackathon focused on building technical solutions that could enable enforceable international agreements on AI development.

​Schedule

​Friday, January 30: 5pm-10pm Pacific Time
Saturday, January 31: 10am-8pm Pacific Time
Sunday, February 1: 10am-8pm Pacific Time

​Prizes & Opportunities

​$2000 prize pool + Fast-track access to:
→ Your next role at Lucid Computing
→ The MIRI TGT Fellowship
→ The Apart Fellowship

​These fast-tracks offer direct interviews with leadership and researchers for potential job opportunities and fellowship onboarding to work on Technical Solutions for International AI Governance.
You'll work in teams over one intensive weekend and submit open-source verification tools, monitoring systems, compliance frameworks, or research advancing international AI governance capabilities.
Apply if you believe we need functioning governance infrastructure before frontier AI capabilities advance beyond our ability to coordinate effectively.

Location: Near Downtown Berkeley BART station. Exact address provided upon acceptance.
