I’m currently working on a simple recommendation system for posts from Effective Altruism forum, which uses a simple algorithm on top of AI models. I have written a script that scraps posts from EA forum, and then evaluates them based on impact and few others criteria, estimating the expected value of positive impact that the post will have. I plan to share the results on this forum soon.
I think that it will have to base also on information from humans later because AI models can reflect the interest of a company (if recommendation is based on AI models, then AI companies might create AI models that are aligned with interests of the company, instead of the interest of the collective, or if the models are not aligned, then they might work in their own unaligned interest.
I think aligned recommendation systems are very important because currently I believe that some good ideas get overlooked. Better recommendation systems would direct attention to the right posts/papers.
Update:
But if you work or plan to work on it as well, then please don’t resign from doing so because of the fact that I’m working on it already. I also work on other projects.
