Electric Sheep’s BASE (Bangalore AI Safety Exchange) is our maker space, member community and accelerator hub for all things AI Safety.

It’s where talented folks come together to build things that matter most.

We are proud to host AI Safety in-person, residential accelerators, incubators, hackathons, and un-conferences at our ultra-modern facility in one of the world’s great tech hubs, Bengaluru.

The Campus spans 6000 sq feet of beautifully curated workshop and co-working space at The Yard, Carlton Towers, in Bengaluru’s premiere commercial hub, Indiranagar.

Our in-person and residential programs offer promising individuals and teams focussing on key impact areas - AI catastrophic risk/security, as well as AI for climate, and animal protection - the mentorship and support to move to the next level. We host folks from all over the world and are proud to have built a thriving local talent pipeline and knowledge exchange community - who take part in our slate of world-class BASE programs.

Building the era of Safe, Impactful AI

The Campus hosts pioneer AI safety communities. These include the BASIS AI safety and research reading group that meets regularly at the Campus. AI safety weekend events in conjunction with San Francisco-based Apart Research are Campus-based, as are meetups in conjunction with AI Safety India.

We are proud to host TARA - The Technical Alignment Research Accelerator in its largest cohort presence. TARA are bringing the ARENA curriculum to Australia and Asia, and now to Bangalore’s talented technology community. They are being inducted into AI safety and pivoting into making AI go well through their work with the thriving community at BASE.

We are in the process of bringing more AI safety fellowship programs to India, located at BASE as well as our own residential AI safety for builders fellowships and incubators - watch this space.

AI Safety Acceleration and Memberships

Together, we’re building a movement not just of ideas but applications. BASE supports AI safety research but is heavily building the ‘D-Acc’ field - the accelerated development of AI that’s decentralised and democratised as well as ‘defensive.’ We host individual and team builders who are working in this space, global hackathons for those in AI Safety who Build, and offer a specialized Campus Membership to support their research and development.

University Chapters

The Campus has multiple link-ups with top-tier technical Universities providing a pipeline of talented builders into AI safety, AI for good and D-acc. If you’re interested in hosting an Electric Sheep Chapter at your university - with a through-line to the Campus - get in touch.


Internships

We are always on the lookout for talented interns who benefit from being in the heart of India’s garden city of tech dreams - Bengaluru - and are provided with a challenging and nourishing experience.
