A 25-session deep dive into AI safety, policy, and governance. Real cases, real regulations, real research — and the analytical rigour to think clearly about the most consequential technology of our era.
Distinguishing speculation from evidence, hype from genuine concern, and motivated reasoning from honest analysis.
Against real-world tradeoffs — reading primary-source legal text, not summaries.
Bias, deepfakes, surveillance, misuse — with the depth of an informed citizen, not a partisan.
Holding two positions in mind at once — the habit of mind that survives a polarised debate.
With the rigour a journalist, policy professional, or informed citizen would bring to the work.
Fewer than 3 in 100 applicants are selected.
Foundations and CS Specialist
"You can't build AI you don't understand. My job is to make the maths underneath it feel obvious - not intimidating."
Programming & Applied AI Specialist
"Students learn AI fastest when they're building something real with it. We start writing code on day one."
Programming & AI Engineering Specialist
"Real industry experience changes how you teach. I show students how AI is actually built, not just how it's described."
In the final five sessions, they author one substantial policy proposal or governance framework on an AI safety question of their choice — defended live under Socratic questioning that probes every assumption, every tradeoff, and every implementation detail.
