Course Overview

The problem of getting AI models to reliably generate the kind of output we want isn’t restricted to language models; it’s a universal feature of all AI systems. And as those systems become more scaled and more capable, it’s a problem that’s going to get worse, and not better. Ultimately, many frontier AI researchers believe that AI systems with advanced capabilities, but poorly controlled behavior may pose an unprecedented risk to global safety. In this module, we’ll dive into what happens when AI goes wrong, and what the long-term outlook of AI accidents might be.
