My quick take here is that your list of topics is not an introduction to AI Safety, it is an introduction to AI safety as seen from inside the MIRI/Yudkowsky bubble, where everything is hard, and nobody is making any progress. Some more diversity in viewpoints would be better.
For your audience, my go-to source would be to cover bits of Christian’s The Alignment Problem.
