At a previous EAG, one talk was basically GovAI fellows summarizing their work, and I really enjoyed it. Given that there’s tons of fellowships that are slated to start in the coming months, I wonder if there’s a way to have them effectively communicate about their work on the forum? A lot of the content will be more focused on traditional AIS topics, but I expect some of the work to focus on topics more amenable to a post-AGI governance framing, and that work could be particularly encouraged.
A light touch version might just be reaching out to those running the fellowships and having them encourage fellows to post their final product (or some insights for their work if they’re not working on some singular research piece) to the forum (and ideally having them include a high-quality executive summary). The medium touch would be having someone curate the projects, e.g. highlighting the 10 best from across the fellowships. The full version could take many different forms, but one might be having the authors then engage with one another’s work, encouraging disagreement and public reasoning on why certain paths might be more promising.
Great idea! I reached out to GovAI to give their fellows a talk on Forum writing once but it didn’t end up happening—I’ll try again soon/ try another method of reaching them.
