Education

We host seminars and bootcamps exploring the fields of AI alignment and governance.

AI Alignment Seminar

Overview

While AI systems become more powerful, our ability to understand and control these models remains limited. This program covers the technical problems that must be solved to ensure AI is developed to the benefit of our future. Participants will join weekly discussion groups on topics such as reward specification, goal generalization, scalable oversight, and interpretability. By the end of the semester, participants will coauthor a whitepaper surveying the motivations and directions for alignment research.
