Headline finding: I audited 17 AI Safety Talent programmes. Zero of 17 have published any comparison group, rejected-applicant follow-up, matched control or randomisation. Not one. Every programme that mentions a counterfactual does it by asking participants to self-report.
Background
At least $70 million...
Here are the quantitative goals we set for EA University of Bergen for the coming semester (our second active semester):
I am uncertain about which of these goals are the most important, but I presume that the goals related to influencing members to choose high-impact careers are the most valuable to aim for (e.g. making people apply for 80K coaching).
You may also find this article useful (aimed at student groups, but still relevant for city groups):

Thanks, Phillip! I'm looking forward to reading the article and appreciate learning from your experience in the Bergen group.
