AI Safety Community
A community dedicated to ensuring AI is developed safely.
The way to ensure a better, safer future with AI is not to impede the development of this new technology but to accelerate our wisdom in handling it by supporting AI safety research.
Since it may take decades to complete this research it is prudent to start now. AI safety research prepares us better for the future by pre-emptively making AI beneficial to society and reducing its risks.
This mission motivates research across many disciplines, from economics and law to technical areas like verification, validity, security, and control. We’d love you to join!
