What our graduates say

"This was the most positively impactful course I've ever taken (unless you count the high school class in which I got to know my husband!), as it gave me the background to engage with the AI safety and governance communities. I don't know how I would have gotten up to speed otherwise, and it opened the door to pretty much everything I've done professionally for the past couple years."
"I participated in the AISF 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"
"This course was the first step in my career in AI 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. The course 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!"

Frequently asked questions

What is AI Safety?

AI Safety is the field working to ensure powerful AI systems benefit rather than harm humanity. As AI systems become more capable of affecting our world, we need to solve key challenges: How do we make AI systems reliably do what we want? How do we govern their development? How do we define what "beneficial" means?

You can read more about these different aspects of AI safety here and the range of AI risks here.
