What are some of the most neglected sub-tasks of reducing existential risk? That is, what is no one working on which someone really, really should be?
Policy work / international coordination. Figuring out how to build an aligned AI is only part of the problem. You also need to ensure that an aligned AI is built, and that’s a lot harder to do during an international arms race. (A race to the finish would be pretty bad, I think.)
I’d like to see a lot more people figuring out how to ensure global stability & coordination as we enter a time period that may be fairly dangerous.
Nailed it.
(anyone have) any suggestions for how to make progress in this area?
