What?
The Fundamentals of AI Safety programme is designed to make the space of AI alignment and AI governance more accessible. Since the field is still emerging, there are no textbooks or widespread university courses, so this programme helps fill that gap.
We are offering two tracks: technical and governance.

The courses consist of an eight-week study period. Each week comprises selected readings and exercises that take about three hours in total to complete. The weekly meeting lasts 1½ hours. The course material is in English, and group discussions may also be held in English.
Both the alignment and governance tracks use curricula designed by BlueDot Impact. Governance covers AI policy, risk analysis, and regulatory strategies; Alignment covers machine-learning and safety concepts, like interpretability, robustness, and model evaluation.
