This series of posts contains lists of projects that it could be valuable for someone to work on. The unifying theme is that they are projects that:
- Would be especially valuable if transformative AI is coming in the next 10 years or so.
- Are not primarily about controlling AI or aligning AI to human intentions. (Or about reducing risks from engineered pandemics.)
- Most of the projects would be valuable even if we were guaranteed to get aligned AI.
- Some of the projects would be especially valuable if we were inevitably going to get misaligned AI.
The lists are definitely not exhaustive.
