Even though it’s not practiced yet and very debatable, EA aligned organisations should have an employment policy for the deduction of at least 10% from employee’s earning or salary. It could be from a certain pay grade or amount. Methinks, earning to give should be a default thing for everyone who identifies with the EA community, especially those engaged with direct work.
Let’s start putting our money where our mouth is.
My suggestion for people who are best at mentorship but are quite busy is for organizations where they work to grant them time for mentorship, say 1-2 hours per week for one month, per mentee. That way, they can have a considerably “robust” and effective conversations and if the said mentee wants further time with them, that’ll be at their discretion. This can be planned and scheduled well by the organisation.
I want to strongly recommend that every EA-aligned organization should provide or have a mentorship program that allows their staff who wants to be a mentor to be able to provide direction and guidance on the cause areas of their interest, their areas of expertise and competence. This is not compulsory but necessary.
I have also thought about the impact and risks associated with AI multi-agents seeing that we’re quickly transitioning to the development, deployment, and use of AI multi-agents.
While there’s obvious need for further research, what do you think about the role of AI alignment in mitigating AI multi-agent risks? Lewis Hammond
Thank you and well done to the team at Cooperative AI Foundation
Expecting to see you
Thank you so much for the response
Meanwhile, this is a great initiative
What happens after the program? Are the fellows supported to launch a startup? Are fellows ideas funded? Kindly detail what the structured support is.
Kindly help with response to the above questions.
Absolutely. Thank you for the balance and insights, @Tony Senanayake
Exactly what I was thinking few days ago. How can one pivot financially and still remain EA-aligned? If you run an organization, you’re expected to ensure that the implementation of your project and intervention is cost-effective else, you won’t pass the mark of being considered an EA-aligned organisation among other “criteria”.
I’d recommend both frameworks for those keen about starting an organisation in development, and also recommend a pivot or adoption of both to existing organizations, considering their financial standing and future. They both have pathways of ensuring that implementation of projects meets desired and planned outcomes, especially now that aids and grants are no longer a guarantee.
