AI Policy & Governance Seminar

The AI Policy & Governance Seminar is a 6-week course which covers topics like:

  1. Evaluating frontier AI systems: understanding what an AI model can actually do, through assessing capability claims, evaluations (METR, Epoch), system cards, etc.
  2. Who holds leverage over frontier AI: labs, governments, international bodies.
  3. How to govern AI: compute governance, safety standards, liability, international coordination.
  4. Governance under acceleration: race dynamics between labs and states, power concentration.

We base the seminar on BlueDot Impact's Frontier AI Governance course.

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