# AI Alignment Research Dataset
The AI Alignment Research Dataset is a collection of documents related to AI Alignment and Safety from various books, research papers, and alignment related blog posts. This is a work in progress. Components are still undergoing a cleaning process to be updated more regularly.

## Keys
All entries contain the following keys:
- `id` - string of unique identifier
- `source` - string of data source listed above
- `title` - string of document title of document
- `authors` - list of strings
- `text` - full text of document content
- `url` - string of valid link to text content
- `date_published` - in UTC format
Additional keys may be available depending on the source document.
## Usage
Execute the following code to download and parse the files:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
data = load_dataset('StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset')
```
To only get the data for a specific source, pass it in as the second argument, e.g.:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
data = load_dataset('StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset', 'lesswrong')
```
## Limitations and Bias
LessWrong posts have overweighted content on doom and existential risk, so please beware in training or finetuning generative language models on the dataset.
## Contributing
The scraper to generate this dataset is open-sourced on [GitHub](https://github.com/StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset) and currently maintained by volunteers at StampyAI / AI Safety Info. [Learn more](https://coda.io/d/AI-Safety-Info_dfau7sl2hmG/Get-involved_susRF#_lufSr) or join us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/vjFSCDyMCy).
## Rebuilding info
This README contains info about the number of rows and their features which should be rebuilt each time datasets get changed. To do so, run:
datasets-cli test ./alignment-research-dataset --save_info --all_configs
## Citing the Dataset
For more information, here is the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02841) and [LessWrong](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/FgjcHiWvADgsocE34/a-descriptive-not-prescriptive-overview-of-current-ai) post. Please use the following citation when using the dataset:
