At EA Forum next week, I’d like to engage with people who are interested in epistemic security—the ability of a society to reliably avert threats to the processes that produce reliable information.
I feel current threats to reliable information are both critical and at least somewhat neglected. The topic is covered deeply in this report from the Alan Turing Institute: epistemic-security-report_final.pdf
Information is infrastructure and requires infrastructure, physical, digital and cultural. Without reliable information, I submit that all of EA’s priorities are at risk.
Let me know if you’d be up to kick this around in New York. Happy to engage online as well.
Epistemic security as infrastructure
