SPAR is a research mentorship program helping aspiring researchers contribute meaningfully to frontier AI safety work. This year's virtual Demo Day (hosted in Gather Town) showcases 90+ technical and governance projects developed over 3 months by this round's stellar mentors and mentees. Projects from previous SPAR rounds have been accepted at ICML and NeurIPS, covered by TIME, and led to full-time job offers for mentees.

SPAR is run by Kairos, a nonprofit whose mission is to help society navigate the transition to transformative AI. Mentee applications for the next SPAR round open on December 17. Express interest for future iterations of SPAR here.
