GPT-Lab wants you. 60 seconds.
A recruitment page for Tampere University's GPT-Lab that asks prospective researchers to submit a one-minute video instead of a CV.
Field notes
Applicants are directed toward a deliberately lightweight application: record a one-minute response, upload or link it, and the page says Professor Pekka Abrahamsson reads each application. The lab frames its work as systems that run on real problems rather than only position papers, with named examples spanning an AI newsroom, a nine-phase legislative simulation involving 200 agents, and software engineering from conversation through tested code. The page also states that the group spans 60 researchers, three campuses, and five countries.
