Alignment, interpretability, bias, regulation, and the hard open questions every AI practitioner should understand — not to pause AI development, but to build it responsibly.
Yes. Developers making practical decisions — which model to use, how to handle user data, what safeguards to build, how to test for bias — are making safety decisions every day. This pathway isn't about abstract philosophy: it covers RLHF and Constitutional AI (the training techniques that shape model behavior), EU AI Act compliance requirements, how bias enters systems, and what interpretability tools exist for practitioners today.
Some articles (RLHF, interpretability, specification gaming) are more technical. Others (AI regulation, bias, AI and climate) are accessible to anyone. The pathway is designed so that non-technical practitioners can read the policy and ethics articles productively, and technical practitioners get the depth they need in the alignment and training articles.
9 articles, approximately 4 hours. This is an intermediate pathway that covers both technical safety concepts and policy/regulatory considerations.
