I am considering switching my career to more data science/machine learning (potentially, AI safety if I happen to be good at it, but there are many other great causes that can benefit from data science). As a start, I want to complete a data science project (to add to my resume and to practice new skills). Is there anything like the Effective Thesis organization (or at least a website or forum or blog) where I can find ideas for the projects that would be impactful? There are many people switching to data science and doing a couple of projects for this purpose, so this should be relevant not only to me.
Hey, I think this is a great idea. Credo AI is an organization working on data science-type projects for AI safety, maybe one of their projects could give you inspiration?

If you find potentially impactful data science projects, I’d be happy to hear about them!
I’d also check if ALLFED have something
