Using ARENA Materials: Our Policy
Looking to use our materials for your own AI safety courses?
If you choose to do this, we ask that you adhere to our guidelines below.
How to use ARENA Materials:
We've designed a policy to support your success while maintaining the quality and integrity of AI safety education. Here's how you can use our materials:
Our policies:
-
Self-study: You're welcome to use our materials for personal learning – you can find the ARENA curriculum here. We'd love to hear your feedback through our feedback form.
-
Request Permission: Before running a programme based on our materials, please complete this short form. We typically respond within 5 working days.
Distinct Branding: Clearly identify your programme as using ARENA materials rather than run by ARENA. This helps participants understand who they're learning with.
Proper Attribution: Credit ARENA or "Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator" as the source of materials in your communications.
Non-commercial Use: Our materials are shared to advance AI safety, not for profit. Don't resell our content or charge for access.
