We do have other expertise that we’d be happy to trade. Many AI safety folks have proposed just this: animal welfare campaigners are experienced with guerilla campaigns that have pressured some of the world’s largest companies to make modest but meaningful concessions to ethics. We could trade these services to the AI movement, using our skills to win stronger safety and alignment commitments from leading labs, in exchange for technical safety and alignment researchers giving animals their due consideration in overall alignment strategy
I’m in favour of this proposal. I’d love to see it explored in a future post.
