CASI Membership

Join our most dedicated community members

CASI Membership recognizes and supports our most active, enthusiastic members who have demonstrated potential to make an impact on AI safety. As CASI interacts with many people across different programs and events, we created membership to deepen our connections with those who are most committed to our mission.

If you are an active member of any one of our regular programming (such as a reading group), that alone is enough to become a core member. We're looking for dedicated and enthusiastic students who are interested in AI safety. We encourage applications and err on the side of accepting.

Units 1M and 1E of the Craig-Henry Building, located at 201 South Craig Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213

We plan on setting up a system where core members can ping a bot to request entry to the office. Details on how to use this system will be provided to core members.
