DAISI AI Alignment 101 Course
A condensed 5-week course facilitated by a DAISI member, introducing you to key technical AI alignment research.
The course is based on the AI Safety Fundamentals course compiled by Richard Ngo, a researcher at OpenAI. We have adapted the original 8-week format of the course to a 5-week format that is more compatible with the quarter system of TU Delft.
Each week consists of core reading, further readings, a resource spotlight, and exercises. Core readings are the minimum that should be read prior to your group session, in order to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Further readings delve deeper into the topics of the week. They are encouraged but not mandatory. The resource spotlight encourages you to learn about an online resource that you can explore in your own time to find out more about AIS. Lastly, the exercises will be discussed in groups during your group session. In order to prepare, you should take a few minutes to think about it and write down your thoughts.
