AIMS Distillation Contest Interest Form
The Distillation contest offers prizes of $2,500, $1,250, $500 (5x) and $250 (10x), with a due date of May 20th. This interest form will be used to send contest updates and deadline reminders. The Distillation Contest asks that participants: 1) Pick an article/post/research paper on AI Alignment/Safety (ideally from our provided list) that would benefit from being more clearly explained. 2) Indicate which ideas or sections of their chosen research should be distilled. Applicants can either distill a whole post/article, a specific part of the post/article, or multiple posts/articles. 3) Create a distillation: a clearer explanation of the research, along with a new example or new application of the research. 4) Optionally: If there is a problem that is trying to be solved by the research you’re distilling, you can attempt to create an additional solution to the problem and include it in your response.
