Similar to others, I want to ask basically if the board also includes people with expertise other than biorisk and AI, like geopolitics. Since the post was part of a series on COVID (which was not thought to be an existential threat at any point), I had imagined the CRT to also be intended to respond to crises not in the AI/biorisk areas.
Yes, but it wasn’t an existential biorisk. And I assume once you include risks which are catastrophic but not existential, you also get things which aren’t AI/pandemics. So that’s what I was trying to say.
We will activate for things besides x-risks. Besides the direct help we render, this is to learn about parts of the world it’s difficult to learn about any other time.
Yeah, we have a whole top-level stream on things besides AI, bio, nukes. I am a drama queen so I want to call it “Anomalies” but it will end up being called “Other”.

Yeah, we’re still looking for someone on the geopolitics side. Also, Covid was a biorisk.
Cool!
