These are more advanced courses for those who would like a deeper dive into AI Safety. We expect the applicants to have gone through one of our introductory courses or equivalent.

Technical AI Safety 201

For 8 weeks, you’ll spend 2 hours per week with a group of 2-8 participants and a discussion facilitator, switching between reading or watching material and discussing, there are no required readings outside of meetings. We aim to give you an overview of AI alignment — the research field aiming to align advanced AI systems with human intentions — and will touch on topics like interpreting the internals of neural networks, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and concrete ways that transformative AI might go really badly. Prior machine learning experience is not necessary. Express your interest here.

AI Safety Governance 201

We are currently running a trial of the new curriculum. Projected length is expected to be 8 weeks, in groups of 2-8 participants, and a facilitator. The brand new course is expected to be available for enrollment in the next semester. Express your interest here.
