Misaligned superintelligence might end humanity. The number of people who understand this deeply enough to act on it is far too small.
Lens Academy exists to change that. We're building scalable AI Safety education focused on what we think matters most: the case for existential risk from superintelligence, why alignment is hard, and how to think strategically about what to work on. Not a survey of all possible AI risks, but the part that's most likely to cause human extinction, taught in a way that hopefully actually sticks.
