Hello, 

My name is Arthur, and i am a high school student in France. I am sending this question to the EA forum because i would greatly benefit from some advice and help surrounding the opic of AI, and particularity, AGI safety. I am part of a section in my school called OIB/BFI (if anyone knows of it), which is basically double nationality studies between France and the US. We study US history, literature, etc... A specific subject we have is called "Global Affairs". In this course, we must, durinf the entirety of the year, focus on a topic we deem relevant to the world today, do extensive research on it, and finally, at the end of the year, present it to a group of examiners as part of our final high school exams. 

The topic which i have chosen is "The fast development of AGI by private companies, and its potential threats/problems to society as we know it today". I am very interested by AI, and dug into the subject before even being assigned this work, so naturally i followed it into Global Affairs. 

Now, we absolutely need as part of our work, a foreign partner from the US, which guides us in our work, awnsers questions, etc...

This why i ask this question to EA today; would any of you, who are qualified/competent enough in the field (through their job, or just knowledge of the subject) like to help me out on this project ? I will not be asking a lot, maybe just a few exchanges by messages/mail to awnser questions, breakdown complex systems, and help me in general better understand the complex topic which is AGI. (in a hopefully pedagogic manner that could help a 16 year old person by the way haha)

Let me know by awnsering this message, or sending me a mail at arthurbilla33@gmail.com ! 

Thank you for your time, 

have a nice rest of the day, whoever you are.
