AI Safety Collab 2025 - Feedback on Plans & Expression of Interest
TLDR:
We are organising a coordination program for AI Safety courses. If you are running a group you can join to save time on ops and receive support with promoting your program. For now, we are gathering Expressions of interest from groups and volunteer facilitators, you can sign up here.
We’re planning our next iteration of AI Safety Collab and want to shape it according to AI safety group and participant needs. This is not a registration form—we’re gathering feedback to optimize our approach. The broader case for such an initiative is made in this post, so here we will just outline what we offer and how you or your group can join.
This form will take about 3 − 10 minutes to complete.
Our Current Plan:
Timeline: March-May 2025
Structure: 8 weeks course discussion groups + 4 weeks optional project competition
Format: Weekly discussion groups (5-10 people)

Can you offer some context on who this might be appropriate for? Or perhaps a link to some aspect of a past instance of AI Safety Collab?
Thank you for asking, I edited to post to make this clearer. This program is intended for AIS fieldbuilders who would like to run courses in the near future, as well as potential course facilitators who would like to help us with this initiative.
