This post prompted me to write up an idea I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while. Asya argues that people in or considering technical or policy roles at AI safety organizations could maybe have more impact doing capacity-building work.
One way to test if this could be a good fit for you: if you have domain expertise in an AI safety or governance topic, creating a structured course around it might be more feasible than you’d expect. AI tools, volunteer facilitators, and people like me with more experience in courses/products can handle a lot of the heavy lifting, so the main contribution is your knowledge and judgment about what matters.
I’ve written up a short proposal exploring how this could work in practice; I’d be keen to hear from anyone interested in trying it out.
