List of AI safety courses and resources

We made a spreadsheet of resources for learning about AI safety. It was for internal purposes here at Nonlinear, but we thought it might be helpful to those interested in becoming safety researchers.

Highlights
There are a lot of courses and reading lists out there. If you’re new to the field, out of the ones we investigated, we recommend Richard Ngo’s curriculum of the AGI safety fundamentals program. It is a good mix of shorter, more structured, and more broad than most alternatives. You can register interest for their program when the next round starts or simply read through the reading list on your own.
