Forum
The SAIRC Discussion Forum is a space for AI enthusiasts to share what they're thinking about. No formal research paper required. Posts can be submitted anonymously and span a wide range of formats:
- Tutorials or deep-dives on AI topics
- Fresh perspectives: reframings or new ways of looking at something
- Novel research results communicated in plain language
- Resources and opportunities in AI (summer programs, tools, datasets)
- Thought experiments and speculative ideas
- Notes or study guides from courses
