📖 Description

Over the last year EA Cambridge has been designing and running an online program aimed at effectively introducing the field of AGI safety; the most recent cohort included around 150 participants and 25 facilitators from around the world. Dewi Erwan runs the program; I designed the curriculum, the latest version of which appears in [the linked document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mTm_sT2YQx3mRXQD6J2xD2QJG1c3kHyvX8kQc_IQ0ns/edit?usp=sharing). We expect the program to be most useful to people with technical backgrounds (e.g. maths, CS, or ML), although the curriculum is intended to be accessible for those who aren't familiar with machine learning, and participants will be put in groups with others from similar backgrounds. **If you're interested in joining the next version of the course (taking place January - March 2022)** [**apply here to be a participant**](https://airtable.com/shr9R2syz8wc2ao7p) **or** [**here to be a facilitator**](https://airtable.com/shr0IO5TTZEY5FFxY)*...
