1bea12hWorldbuilding Hopeful Futures with AI – Free course now live
Hi everyone,
Foresight Institute just launched a new free, self-paced course on Udemy:
👉 Worldbuilding Hopeful Futures with AI
[https://www.udemy.com/course/worldbuilding-hopeful-futures-with-ai/]
The goal: to empower more people — not just technologists or policymakers — to
actively think about and shape AI’s long-term trajectory. We use storytelling
and worldbuilding to crowdsource diverse, ambitious, and grounded visions of the
future, and explore practical pathways to get there.
The course brings together insights from a wide range of thinkers across
science, governance, and philosophy, including:
Helen Toner – Director of Strategy at CSET and former OpenAI board member
Anthony Aguirre – Co-founder of the Future of Life Institute
Hannah Ritchie – Lead Researcher at Our World in Data
Ada Palmer – Historian and sci-fi author
Glen Weyl – Founder of RadicalxChange, Microsoft Research
Robert Lempert – Senior Scientist at RAND, expert in scenario planning
Each module includes a short video, reading recommendations, and an interactive
assignment to build your own future scenario.
We’d love for you to check it out, share it with others, and let us know what
you think:
