How this course will benefit you

Take action in less than 30 hours

You don’t need another degree. This AGI Strategy course replaces years of self-study with three frameworks: incentive mapping to understand the AGI race, kill chains to analyse AI threats, and defence-in-depth to design interventions that counter them. You’ll finish with a fundable plan.

Join a network of builders

This course isn’t for everyone. We’re building a community of people who are energised to take ambitious actions to make AI go well, including starting new companies, policy entrepreneurship, and high-impact research bets. Completing this course will give you access to this community.

Get funded to accelerate your impact

If your final course proposal is strong, you’ll receive $10-50k to kickstart your transition into impactful work, and you’ll be invited to co-work with us in London for 1-2 weeks. We’ll do whatever it takes to accelerate your journey.
