While many people are interested in transformative AI governance, there is currently no scalable introduction to the field that offers substantial breadth, depth, context, accountability, and information about relevant career opportunities. Anecdotally, finding even a few of those things can be tough. Aiming to improve this state of affairs, I’m excited to introduce the AI Governance Fundamentals program. This program seeks to efficiently bring people up to speed on issues in transformative AI governance through an 11-week virtual course. It consists of 8 weeks of readings, facilitated group discussions, speaker sessions, and a 4-week capstone project, for a total of ~2-4 hours per week.
Thanks so much! My sense is we'll probably run this regularly (on a yearly basis or more often than that), although it feels a bit early to commit to that before we've seen how the current version goes.
Depending on your situation and interests, I might tentatively suggest diving in to whatever parts seem most interesting to you rather than (only) waiting for next time (since if you're considering relevant career changes, that extra 6 months or so might be pretty impactful).
