You raise a very good point that I agree with. Right now, the platform is definitely biased towards the existing paradigm. This will probably be the case during the first few months, but we hope that it will help make the exploration of new directions and paradigms easier at the same time.
This also raises the point of the ideas currently playing into the canon of AI safety instead of looking at the vast literature outside of AI safety that concerns itself with the same topics but with another framing.
So to answer your questions; we want AISI to make it easier to elicit new ideas in all paradigms and directions with our personal bias moving that more towards new perspectives as we implement better functionality.
Esben—thanks very much for your reply. That all makes sense—to develop a gradual broadening-out from the current paradigm to welcoming new perspectives from other existing research traditions.
