Communications
The educational and communications wing of the FLI team.
Introduction
Informing the discourse around our focus areas.
The outreach team works to improve awareness, provide accurate and accessible information, and deepen understanding of our focus areas. Using evidence-based strategies of risk communication, we seek to emphasise positive steps by which extreme risks from transformative technologies can be reduced, and global prospects enhanced.
To these ends, we create informative content, operate dynamic social media accounts, collaborate with journalists, and run the Future of Life Award, celebrating unsung heroic individual efforts which made our world a better, safer place.
