AI Fluency Education Lead

Anthropics mission is to create reliable interpretable and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers engineers policy experts and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

Anthropic is seeking an AI Fluency Education Lead to create courses and content that teach people how AI works and how to work well with AI. Most people right now pick up AI wherever they happen to find it: a prompt from a coworker a video promising ten hacks or a screenshot from LinkedIn. Its hard to discern which tidbits are short term tactics and what skills will be enduring. AI Fluency is our work to close that gap: teaching how AI actually works and how to work well alongside it so people can make their own decisions and judgements with AI instead of copying someone elses. Note that this does not cover product training. We recognize that most people do not use a single tool or single model so AI Fluency is deliberately model agnostic. We teach durable mindsets and understandings that help someone use AI well and safely no matter what system is in front of them.

Much of this role is about creation: writing filming prototyping and publishing. Its also about building the systems that let that work multiply and reach the right audiences. We cant teach every audience ourselves so youd design a modular library short videos exercises frameworks one-pagers all free and openly licensed along with the AI-assisted pipelines that remix and assemble those pieces into something specific for a given learner. You will also work with other teams to decide which audiences we go after which topics we prioritize and which formats we pursue. You may also invent formats that dont exist yet because most AI education still looks like an online course from 2015 and we dont think the subject and the medium should be that far apart.

You would work closely with a sister group on the education team that researches what fluency means and how to measure it. Youre the person who takes that and turns it into something someone can actually learn from.

Key responsibilities

• Own the curriculum for general-public AI fluency end to end the roadmap the sequencing the quality bar and the call on what we teach and what we deliberately leave out.

• Curate and create the AI fluency material itself curricula courses videos essays exercises interactive lessons and set the quality bar for any partner content creation engagements

• Build AI-assisted production pipelines so the distance from an idea to a published piece keeps getting shorter while the quality keeps going up

• Turn research frameworks into material that resonates for people whose jobs look nothing like ours: nurses teachers small business owners policymakers community leaders and so on

• Learn from and co-create with outside institutions such as educators public-sector organizations and community groups

• Prototype learning formats that only work with AI in the loop personalized paths conversational practice assessment that adapts to the learner and get rough versions in front of real people in days rather than quarters

• Measure whether the teaching worked completion is not comprehension and comprehension is not changed behavior. Define what learning actually looks like for this audience and instrument for it.

You may be a good fit if you have

• Deep experience designing content and curricula for adult learners at significant scale with real taste for what makes learning stick when youre not in the room.

• Exceptional writing for general audiences and specifically the knack for turning a technical idea into a mental model thats accurate and also intuitive to novices and those who have never seen it before

• Experience making multimedia learning content end to end scripts video interactive and working with agencies and partners to deliver on multiple projects in short deadlines

• A working practice of using Claude and other LLMs as infrastructure in your own production

• Enough technical comfort to build light tooling and automations yourself; this isnt an engineering role but you shouldnt be intimidated by adding to the pipeline that produces your work

• Experience-derived opinions about pedagogy youll argue for and the willingness to drop them when the data says otherwise

• Genuine satisfaction in making things other people teach such as a teacher taking your material changing it for their audience and delivering education without your oversight

• Comfort in a fast-moving environment where youre building the process as you go

You dont need a background in AI or a degree in education but you do need to have made people fluent in something before at scale.

Strong candidates may also have

• Built an education program or content function from nothing

• Experience in public education civic technology or policy communication.

• A background in AI/ML education learning science cognitive science or behavioral research

• Experience co-creating content with outside institutions and partners not only with vendors and production agencies

• Experience building AI-augmented content pipelines

Minimum education: Bachelors degree or an equivalent combination of education training and/or experience

Required field of study:A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework training or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship:We do sponsor visas! However we arent able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if youre interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones were building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you some cases we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money fees or banking information before your first day.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact advancing our long-term goals of steerable trustworthy AI rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. Were an extremely collaborative group and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic including: GPT-3 Circuit-Based Interpretability Multimodal Neurons Scaling Laws AI & Compute Concrete Problems in AI Safety and Learning from Human Preferences.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits optional equity donation matching generous vacation and parental leave flexible working hours and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
