3: Or, if you are unlucky enough to be an adult, the Center for AI Safety is running a virtual course on AI Ethics, Safety, and Society. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the “virtual course” title, this has group sessions and graded projects. Apply by May 31.

...so I guess it wasn’t entirely due to my ex. But the bill owes much of its specifics and support to its three co-sponsors - Center for AI Safety, Encode Justice, and Economic Security Project Action.
Center for AI Safety is the one I already knew about. An AI researcher named Dan Hendrycks got really into AI safety and apparently works 70 hour days; I try to follow this space closely and am boggled by the amount of projects he has going at any given time - several lobbying efforts, a bunch of research projects, various showcases of model capabilities, and being Elon Musk's safety advisor at X.AI. Hendrycks has gotten a reputation for being incorruptible (he gave away ~$20 million in AI company equity2 after trolls tried to turn it into a "conflict of interest" and use it to discredit his lobbying) and intense (I don't think it's a coincidence that he gets along with Elon so well). At some point he founded CAIS to keep track of all his efforts, I'm not surprised to see them involved here too, and I imagine they provided some much-needed technical expertise.

2: Dan Hendrycks’ Center For AI Safety is offering an online course (application deadline Feb 5, course dates Feb 19 to May 9). You could also just download the textbook. I’ve seen a decent number of people get involved in the field starting with courses like these - not because the course itself completely prepares you for everything, but because it helps you understand things well enough that you know where to go next (and it says that “we will support you in identifying your next steps, whether that involves building upon your end-of-course project, pursuing further research, or applying for relevant opportunities.”)
