Founded in 2024 · Buenos Aires
BAISH is a community of 350+ students, researchers and professionals in Buenos Aires working to make advanced AI go well. We run in-person courses, a research lab, monthly events and one-on-one career support, so that talented people here can get into AI safety without having to leave the country to do it.
Since 2024 we have helped 6 members into full-time AI safety roles and 28 into external fellowships and research programs, and researchers connected to BAISH have published at NeurIPS and ICLR workshops. We are run by a team of volunteers and a small paid staff, and we work alongside our sister fellowship, AISAR.
Impact
What BAISH members have gone on to do, and what the community has produced so far.
6 members now work full-time in AI safety at organizations including:
28 placements across around 21 people since 2024.
A few of the paths our members have taken.
Took the intensive course in March 2026 and was accepted to ARENA two months later, where his team's project won first place. He now leads research at BAISH Labs and owns the Projects Sprint.
BAISH supported his trip to EAG London 2026. The connections he made there led directly to a three-month Iliad fellowship, and he is now a research fellow at BAISH Labs.
“BAISH gave me the foundation and connections to transition into AI safety research professionally.”
Led BAISH's courses track, joined Algoverse, received a BlueDot career transition grant, and is now a Research Engineer at Equistamp.
Accepted to the Cambria fellowship in June 2026 after the Technical AI Safety course, which he credits for getting in.
Went through four external programs with BAISH's support, received a BlueDot career transition grant, and co-authored "Is Gemini 3 Scheming in the Wild?" with BAISH advisors.
“Thanks BAISH for putting this opportunity on my radar.”
Accepted to the Cambria fellowship in June 2026.
“Thanks to the group and to Eitan, who backed me a lot through the application process.”
Accepted to MARS in 2026 after BAISH's fellowship-applications sprint.
From local meetups to international research collaborations.
Co-founding Director · Research Manager Lead, Apart Research
Eitán is Research Manager Lead at Apart Research and a co-founding director of BAISH. He has co-authored research accepted to NeurIPS workshops, AI persuasion research, chain-of-thought monitorability research, and an ICLR 2026 workshop paper on white-box monitoring. He holds a bachelor's and master's degree in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires, was a teaching assistant at ML4G camps twice, facilitated the AISES course from the Center for AI Safety, and co-founded EA Argentina.
Co-Director · Research Engineer, Equistamp
Carlos is a Research Engineer at Equistamp and a co-director of BAISH. His move into a full-time AI safety role came directly out of an EA Global conference, the kind of path BAISH now helps its members take.
Co-founding Director · Product Engineer, 80,000 Hours
Luca is Product Engineer at 80,000 Hours and a co-founding director of BAISH. Involved in AI safety since 2016, he received grants from ACX+ and the Long Term Future Fund to upskill for AI safety research, worked in operations at Nonlinear, and won two first places and one second place at Apart Research research sprints. He previously ran operations for the AI Species YouTube channel, which has over 14 million views.

At BAISH - Buenos Aires AI Safety Hub, we focus on several key areas within AI safety research:
We contribute to the field through:
BAISH's work is made possible by:
Pathfinder Program
Kairos supports AI safety field-building through its Pathfinder program, which funds BAISH's core operations.
Rapid grants
BlueDot funds our in-person course cohorts through per-cohort rapid grants, and awarded career transition grants to two of our members.
Launch Round
Funding for BAISH's operations through the grantmaking.ai launch round, with a follow-on grant from AISTOF via Manifund.
via AISAR
Coefficient Giving funds AISAR, our sister fellowship for technical AI safety research in Buenos Aires.
