I completely agree! Summer plans are often solidified quite early, so promoting earlier is better. I’m no stranger to the idea of doing things early!
In this case, we saw a need the need for this program only a few weeks ago and we’re now trying to fill it. If we do run it again next year, we’ll announce it earlier, though there’s definitely still some benefit to having applications open fairly late (e.g. for people who may not have gotten other positions because they lacked ML knowledge).
Do you know any equivalent programs running that will have applications open in the fall or even next year? I think this is a valuable program and have been searching around for something equivalent. Thanks if you got a sec to share resources.
There is for the ML safety component only. It’s very different from this program in time commitment (much lower), stipend (much lower), and prerequisites (much higher, requires prior ML knowledge) though. There are a lot of online courses that just teach ML, so you could take one of those on your own and then this.

Are you running this internship this year (2023). I haven’t seen any posts, yet?
No, it is not being run again this year, sorry!
