Linch’s mention of it below was in the context of understanding its importance rather than trying to solve it, which I guess is how I’d carve up “prioritization research”.
I think what counts as prioritization vs object-level research of the form “trying to solve X” does not obviously have clean boundaries, for example a scoping paper like Concrete Problems in AI Safety is something that a) should arguably be considered prioritization research and b) is arguably better done by somebody who’s familiar with (and connected in) AI.
