Machine Learning for Good is A machine learning and deep learning study group for EAs and rationalists that I’m facilitating.
It includes a study group for the current Udacity Tensorflow/Deep Learning course. I’m not going to repost further info here, one can access it through the following group:
Everyone is allowed to join. It’s closed so that technical or controversial discussions are not broadcast to friends of all members who have not chosen to join.
Four meetings in, people have met, shared updates on study projects, shared updates on Kaggle competitions, talked about making study groups and Kaggle teams. People are more informed about and seem more interested in AI (safety) progress. I’m not that emotionally committed to its continuation but it seems like enough high-potential people with a shared interest are meeting that good things will eventually emerge on an AI safety front.

The Facebook group is closed. Should people here assume that they will be allowed to join?

What impact has ml4g had thus far?

Is the end-game to do data-analysis on data for charity evaluation, intervention evaluation, cost-effectiveness and that kind of thing?
Or, to inform people interested in machine learning about AI safety?
It’s deliberately not just for AI safety, but half of the people are interested in AI safety currently.
As well as promoting interest in these two areas among people with AI knowledge, the aim is to promote knowledge in people who care.
