News Updates

We’ve released our mid-2014 strategic plan update.
There are currently six active MIRIx groups around the world. If you’re a mathematician, computer scientist, or formal philosopher, you may want to attend one of these groups, or apply for funding to run your own independently-organized MIRIx workshop!
Luke and Eliezer will be giving talks at the Effective Altruism Summit.
We are actively hiring for four positions: research fellow, science writer, office manager, and director of development. Salaries + benefits are competitive, visa assistance available if needed.

Other Updates

Luke has a personal blog now, which often discusses, or links to articles about, long-term AI outcomes.
Our Final Invention by James Barrat is now available in audiobook.

As always, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Best,

Luke Muehlhauser
Executive Director
