BlueDot Impact

We run courses that support you to develop the knowledge, community and network needed to pursue a high-impact career.

About BlueDot Impact

Numerous world-changing technologies have developed over the past decade, such as generative AI models and CRISPR gene editing tools. We believe technological development will continue at a rapid pace, with both the potential to create an amazing future and the potential to cause catastrophic harm.

The world needs a significantly more capable and well-resourced workforce to steer these emerging technologies for the benefit of all, and to mitigate and respond to emerging catastrophic threats.

However, few concerted efforts exist to develop or coordinate this global capability. While thousands of people are interested in working on these issues, many don’t yet have the support, skills or self-belief required to contribute or take a leap with their careers.

We run courses that support people to develop the knowledge, skills and connections to pursue a high-impact career solving these globally pressing issues.

Knowledge: Our courses present the fundamental arguments within our focus areas, developed in collaboration with global experts. 

Skills: Projects that our participants do give them practical experience and allow them to take their first steps to contributing to the field.

Connections: We curate communities of engaged, talented individuals who build relationships that benefit them throughout their careers.

Our story

BlueDot Impact was founded in August 2022, and grew out of a non-profit supporting students at the University of Cambridge to pursue high-impact careers. To learn more, check out this podcast interview and our blog.

Over the past 2 years, we’ve supported 2,500 people to learn about AI safety and pandemic preparedness, and our alumni work in critical roles across government and industry. In 2024, we will train ~3x more people than 2023 by running each of our three existing courses every four months (AI AlignmentAI GovernancePandemics). In 2025, we will design more courses on important topics, build a platform to enable local communities to run amazing versions of our courses, and provide intensive support for our top alumni to start new projects.
