I'm interested in your current and future work on longtermism.
One of your plans for 2022 is to:
Build a larger longtermist research team to explore longtermist work and interventions more broadly
Have you decided the possible additional research directions you are hoping to explore? When you're figuring this out, are you more interested in spotting gaps or do you feel the field in young enough that investigating areas others are working on/have touched is still likely to be beneficial? Perhaps both!
One thing we know for certain is that we are definitely doing AI Governance and Strategy work. We have not decided these other avenues yet - I think we will decide them in large part based on who we hire for our roles and in consulting with the people we hire once they are hired and come to agreements as a team. I definitely think that there is a lot to contribute in every field, but we will weigh neglectedness and our comparative advantage in figuring out what to work on.
