I’m not sure what caused this. [Update : the EU Code of Practice ?] Google Trends lists seemingly topic-specific points (the “chain-of-thought as a fragile opportunity” paper from different AI Companies, an apparent interest in China about AI Safety) while one could intuitively bring up events that happened over the summer (several papers, the suicide case, etc).

Trend stayed ~4x higher than previous. My guess is the drop after 13. Sept. is due to data collection.
Could it be due to “If anyone builds it anyone dies”?
It seems that this is—at least partially—explained by the general AI trends (non-safety specific)
