Hi! Yes, I work on AI safety but like many others here I like to follow Dave Wasserman etc. Michael Sadowsky is one person who works with political data full-time. Whether you want to work on AI safety, political data, or just earning, then studying CS or statistics is an ideal starting point. I would suggest picking AI-relevant classes at a good school, and maybe trying some research, and that should set you up well whatever path you end up pursuing.
