Intro to AI Safety Seminar

The Intro to AI Safety Seminar is a 6-week course which covers topics like:

  • progress in AI
  • pathways to AGI (artificial general intelligence)
  • the impact, risks, and harms of increasingly powerful AI

We base the seminar on BlueDot Impact's Future of AI and AGI Strategy courses.

How it works: Each week, you will do about 30 minutes of independent reading (including videos and articles). Then, we will have a 1-hour meeting discussing of the material.

The seminar will last 6 weeks, beginning on the week of September 14th and ending on the week of October 26th (skipping the Fall break week). This is an estimate, as we are both testing a new curriculum this semester and experimenting with a more free-flowing discussion.
