AI Safety Course Goes Public: Free Lectures and Experiments Online
Want to understand AI risks? Now you can take a top course for free.
In the author’s biased opinion, the AI safety course is going very well: the students are great, and the author has been learning a lot from guest speakers. Students write scribe notes, and when guest speakers are OK with it, lecture videos are posted.
Each week, students do an experiment related to the topic—some are really great, and the author hopes they’ll evolve into papers. The course webpage has the experiments and links to readings for each lecture; the author has been maintaining it with ChatGPT, so it has some slopolisms. Current lectures, including planned future ones, have scribe notes and videos when available.
- Free online access to AI safety lectures and student experiments
