Meridian Cambridge, in partnership with Cambridge University's Center for Data Driven Discovery (C2D3), has produced a 16-part lecture series entitled "Language Models and Intelligent Agentic Systems" and the recordings are now online!
The LMaIAS course provides an introduction to core ideas in AI safety. Throughout, we build up from introductory ideas about language modelling and neural networks to discussions of risks posed by advanced AI systems.
The course is divided into four parts:
To start the course, we give three lectures covering generative models and next token prediction, the transformer architecture, and scaling laws for large models.
Now the foundations... (read more)

We're excited to announce Meridian and Cambridge AI Safety Hub’s Visiting Researcher Programme, running from April 6-12, 2025, in Cambridge, UK. This programme offers the opportunity for researchers to transform their AI safety research ideas into robust, fundable proposals — and fast.
If you’ve completed a programme like MATS, MARS, ARENA, ML4G, or ERA, you likely know a lot about AI safety. But what next? Many researchers hit a wall between gaining knowledge and launching full-time research projects. That’s the gap we’re aiming to fill.
This programme offers a structured sprint to... (read 387 more words →)
