Great piece, thank you. I’m new to EA, but I have experience engaging non-technical people on AI-related issues. I see many comments on leadership, but few on broad media/public engagement. For this, much AI safety outreach still feels very dry—text-heavy webpages or complex YouTube lectures. To reach talented non-technical people in media or government, we need approaches that are more entertaining, visual, and interactive—giving people space to express their own views rather than just absorb top-down content. IMHO that is how to bring in the non-research AI safety talent this article shows is needed.
