I wonder how much the AI alignment community will grow in 2023. As someone who only properly became aware of the alignment problem a few months ago, with the release of ChatGPT, it seems like the world has gone from nearly indifferent to AI to obsessed with it. This will lead to more and more people researching things about AI and it will also lead to more and more people becoming aware of the alignment problem.
I really hope that this leads to more of the right kind of attention for AI safety issues. It might also mean that it’s easier to get highly skilled people to work on alignment and take it seriously.
