AI Safety & Society Textbook

[Connor Smith]

Hi all,

Introduction to AI Safety, Ethics, and Society is a free online textbook by CAIS’ Executive Director Dan Hendrycks. It is designed to be accessible for a non-technical audience and integrates insights from a range of disciplines to cover how modern AI systems work, technical and societal challenges we face in ensuring that these systems are developed safely, and strategies for effectively managing risks from AI while capturing its benefits. 

This book has been endorsed by leading AI researchers, including Yoshua Bengio and Boaz Barak, and has already been used to teach over 500 students through our virtual course. It is available at no cost in downloadable text and audiobook formats, as well as in print from Taylor & Francis. We also offer lecture slides and other supplementary resources for educators on our website.

Best,

Connor Smith
Program Manager, Center for AI Safety

If we’re sharing free books, I wrote an RLHF Book, digital only for now, of which I tried to feature a bunch of ideas relevant to the founding of this group in the “preferences” section. Happy to make additions or edits if people look (optionally via a GitHub PR / issue). The goal is to make RLHF research more accessible to answer many of the open discussions we discuss too. https://rlhfbook.com/ Cheers all,
