AI Safety
Fundamentals
What?
The AI Safety Fundamentals program is designed to make the space of AI alignment and AI governance more accessible. Since the field is new and there are no textbooks or widespread university courses, we are looking to supplement and fill this gap. We are offering two tracks: technical and governance.
In these programs, the participants get to engage with 8 weeks of learning followed by 4 weeks of project work. The participants will also be invited to talks by Siméon Campos (Research Entrepreneur at SaferAI) and Esben Kran (CEO of Apart Research).
The course is held simultaneously with 10 groups across the Nordic and Baltic countries. Individuals performing well during the course will get the opportunity to join an AI Safety research retreat after the course.
