<aside> Welcome! Below are the (deeply under construction) topics and readings we’ll cover during the BAIST Policy Fellowship this term. For each session, we’ll aim to do ~1 hour of reading and ~1 hour of discussion in-person. You’re welcome to do the optional readings afterwards, but no work will be required outside of our weekly 2-hour meetings.

This program will introduce you to the field of AI policy with a focus on safety, regulation standards and strategy, and current geopolitics. The goal of this program is to equip you with AI safety knowledge useful for developing a critical perspective and for your career beyond Brown.

Questions, comments, concerns? Email [email protected] or fill out the feedback form.
