Could you describe some of the more policy engagement style / community building projects people have taken on? Would be interested in what people have pursued as that’s closer to my area of interest vs more academic.
Some examples of policy stuff RSPers have done:
Advising governments directly (including the Czech and UK governments on their COVID-19 response, the Mexican government on its national AI strategy)
Networking with relevant government individuals, think tanks etc
Attending relevant conferences, like the Biological Weapons Convention
Writing papers, written submissions and reports on various policy issues
Some examples of community building related stuff RSPers have done:
Co-running programmes like the European Summer Program in Rationality (ESPR), FHI’s Summer Research Fellowship, the Human-aligned AI Summer School, and the Epistea Summer Experiment
Various kinds of advising calls, including lots via EAG/EAGx
