The Windfall Clause: Sharing the benefits of advanced AI

"The potential upsides of advanced AI are enormous, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be distributed optimally. In this talk, Cullen O’Keefe, a researcher at the Center for the Governance of AI, discusses one way we could work toward equitable distribution of AI’s benefits — the Windfall Clause, a commitment by AI firms to share a significant portion of their future profits — as well as the legal validity of such a policy and some of the challenges to implementing it."

80k/outreach for ML researchers

We are significantly bottlenecked by people doing AI safety research. What if we made an outreach org to get people who have experience as ML engineers into AI alignment? It could do outreach over various methods, such as having booths at conferences, giving lectures to ML grad students, targeted ads online, content marketing, etc. It could provide explanations of the rationale, one-on-one coaching to find a good research path and get into the industry, provide introductory materials, etc.
