What our graduates say

Sarah Cogan
Software Engineer, Google DeepMind
I participated in the Alignment Course last year and consider it to be the single most useful step I've taken in my career so far. I cannot recommend the program strongly enough.

Software Engineer, Google DeepMind
Rasmus Andersen
Senior Manager, Tony Blair Institute
I work on AI deployments for governments globally in my day job, and yet the AI Safety Course was a great way to engage deeply with the field. I would emphatically recommend the course also to people who are already AI practitioners, but who’d like a broader perspective and space for structured reflection in a supportive, master class-like setting.

Senior Manager, Tony Blair Institute
Tam Trinh
Head of Economic Policy, Confederation of British Industry
Coming from a background in economic policy, I joined the AI Safety Fundamentals governance course to better understand AI governance and its potential existential risks. The course delivered far beyond my expectations through its expertly curated materials and comprehensive coverage of pressing issues – from misalignment to discrimination and automation risks, many of which are already manifesting today.

Kendrea Beers
Horizon Junior Fellow, Center for Security and Emerging Technology
This was the most impactful course I've ever taken. It gave me the background to engage with the Al safety and governance communities. It opened the door to pretty much everything I've done professionally for the past couple years.

Matthew Bradbury
Senior Al Risk Analyst, UK Government
This course was the first step in my career in Al safety. The BlueDot course allowed me to bridge the gap between my previous career as an economist to now working in the UK Government AI Directorate. It provided me with a great introduction to the field, and allowed me to meet some great people with whom I am still friends. I'd recommend this course to anyone!

Senior Al Risk Analyst, UK Government
Jennifer Confidence
Security Specialist, International SOS
I entered the course with a foundational understanding of AI and a keen interest in its policy and governance dimensions. The program provided a valuable opportunity to delve into these areas, with weekly interactive sessions fostering the exchange of diverse perspectives on AI, including on the issues of geopolitics.

James Sullivan
Software Engineer, Oracle
I'm a software engineer who took this course because I was thinking about transitioning into working on AI safety problems. I found the course to be very informative about the risks of AI, what work has been done to address those risks, and where work still needs to be done.
James Sullivan
Software Engineer, Oracle
Lois Moses
Researcher, Pan-Africa Center for AI Ethics
I’m super grateful to the administrative team, course facilitators and my classmates from diverse backgrounds. Safe to say, this has been the best referral for my career so far.
