AI Safety Training - A database of training programs, conferences, and other events for AI existential safety, collected by AI Safety Support
AGI Safety Fundamentals (AGISF) - courses by BlueDot Impact on AI alignment (101 and 201) and AI governance
MATS Program - ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) Program (previously SERI MATS - Stanford Existential Risks Initiative ML Alignment Theory Scholars)
