Hi Martyna, maybe this post and its comments can interest you.
Also, something else that comes to mind: Andrew Critch thinks that working on Human-Robot Interaction may be very useful to AI Safety. Note that he isn’t solely talking about robots, but also human-machine interaction in general (that’s how I interpret it; I may well be wrong):
HRI research is concerned with designing and optimizing patterns of interaction between humans and machines—usually actual physical robots, but not always.
Not sure whether other AI Safety researchers would agree on the importance of HRI, and not sure if your current career path is very relevant to this. Anyway, just sharing something that might be useful :)
Thank you so much! I’ll reach out to Lotte next week, seems like we will have a lot to discuss!
Human-robot-interaction is something I never considered, but it sounds very interesting. HMI is basically the ground for my work, but it is applied very widely, from physical design (elevators, printers, cars) to SW design, and I’m in the second sector atm. But boy, do I dream to get to the first one.
Do you know of any companies that are hiring HRI designers?

Glad to hear that you found this useful!
Sorry, I know nothing about the HRI space :(
