Electives
Elective AI courses we consider vital to the AI conversation and to your safety and wellbeing. Used well, AI is hugely beneficial; used carelessly, dangerous. Learn the difference.
These courses are not formally part of our learning paths, but we feel they are vital to the AI conversation and to your safety and wellbeing. Just like most other advanced technologies, when used correctly they are incredibly beneficial to humanity; when used irresponsibly they can be extremely dangerous. Learn the difference.
