I’m confused why this got downvoted without any comments; maybe someone thought this was duplicative of an older post/project? Regardless, assuming it isn’t duplicative I think it sounds like a good idea, and even if it is duplicative it might still be good to have another project attempt (so long as this one integrates lessons from the old one).
Great idea to look into this!
It sounds a lot like what we have been doing at the Existential Risk Observatory (posts from us, website). We're more than willing to give you input insofar that helps, and perhaps also to coordinate. In general, we think this is a really positive action and the space is wide open. So far, we have good results. We also think there is ample space for other institutes to do this.
Let's further coordinate by email, you can reach us at [email protected]. Looking forward to learn from each other!
It looks like you removed the flowchart?
A small group of AGI existential safety field-builders and I are starting research exploring a potential initiative about informing the public and/or important stakeholders about the risks of misaligned AI and the difficulties of aligning it.
We are aware that a public communication initiative like this carries risks (including of harming the AGI x-safety community’s reputation, of sparking animosity and misunderstandings between communities, or drawing attention to ways to misuse or irresponsibly develop scaleable ML architectures). We are still in the stage of evaluating whether/how this initiative would be good to pursue.
We are posting this on the forum to avoid the scenario where someone else starts a project about this at the same time and we end up doing duplicate work.
How you can get involved:
Interesting initiative. We should connect because...
FYI: I’m working on a book about the threat of AGI/ASI for a general audience. I hope it will be of value to the cause and the community - EA Forum (effectivealtruism.org)
I've added you to a list of relevant people :)
