Why this is on the board
In a young field like AI safety, the research into how to make powerful AI systems do what people intend, the hardest part is often not the research itself but knowing which questions are solvable and who can answer them. What you map here helps determine where other researchers and funders put their time and money, though they ultimately decide for themselves.
About the role
Lead horizon scanning and research scoping on scalable alignment, mapping neglected problems and building interdisciplinary collaborations.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
