A couple of resources that may be of interest here:
- The work of Aviv Ovadya of the Thoughtful Technology Project; don’t think he’s an EA (he may be, but it hasn’t come up in my discussions with him): https://aviv.me/
- Recommendations for reducing malicious use of machine learning in synthetic media (Thoughtful Technology Project’s Aviv Ovadya and CFI’s Jess Whittlestone) https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.11274.pdf
- And a short review of some recent research on online targeting harms by CFI researchers
@Sean_o_h , Just seeing this now when searching for my name on the forum, actually to find a talk I did for an EA community! Thanks for the shoutout.
For context, while I’ve not been super active community-wise, and I don’t to find identities, EA or otherwise, particularly useful to my work, I definitely e.g fit all the EA definitions as outlined by CEA, use ITN, etc.

- CSER’s recent report with Alan Turing Institute and DSTL, which isn’t specific to AI and social media algorithms only, but addresses these and other issues in crisis response:
”Tackling threats to informed decisionmaking in democratic societies”

Thanks for this , great stuff. I would add https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/tristan-harris-changing-incentives-social-media/ to these resources.
