Speaking as someone who’s exploring the AI governance landscape: I found the list of intermediate goals, together with the responses, a valuable compilation of ideas. In particular it made me appreciate how large the surface area is (in stark contrast to takes on how progress in technical AI alignment doesn’t scale). I would definitely recommend this to people new to AI governance.
I do feel excited about this being used as a sort of “201 level” overview of AI strategy and what work it might be useful to do. And I’m aware of the report being included in the reading lists / curricula for two training programs for people getting into AI governance or related work, which was gratifying.
Unfortunately we did this survey before ChatGPT and various other events since then, which have majorly changed the landscape of AI governance work to be done, e.g. opening various policy windows. So I imagine people reading this report today may feel it has some odd omissions / vibes. But I still think it serves as a good 201 level overview despite that. Perhaps we’ll run a followup in a year or two to provide an updated version.
This survey is really good!

Glad to hear that!
