For those relatively new to AI safety, AISafety.com helps them navigate the space, providing lists of things like self-study courses, funders, communities, etc. But while the previous version of the site basically just threw a bunch of resources at the user, we’ve now redesigned it to be more accessible and therefore make it more likely that people take further steps towards entering the field.
The old site:
The new one:
The new homepage does a better job of directing people to the resource pages most relevant to them, while minimising overwhelm. We’re considering going a step further in the future and integrating a chatbot to help direct people to the exact resources they need, given their goals, skillset, location etc. We’d love to hear any feedback on this idea.
In user research we had also found that of those who regularly use AISafety.com, many are only aware of one or two of the resource pages (there are 10!). When we would show these people the other pages, they often found them useful. So we’re hoping the new site will improve discoverability by making the various pages more obvious in the top navigation.
On that note, here’s the complete list of resource pages on the site:
- courses for self-study
- communities, both local and online
- upcoming events and training programs (plus a weekly newsletter)
- funders offering support for AI safety projects
- field map displaying the key organizations, programs, and projects in AI safety
- advisors offering guidance calls to help individuals most effectively contribute to AI safety
- media channels (newsletters, podcasts, etc.) for learning more and staying informed
- field-building projects seeking volunteer support
- jobs (a filtered subset of 80k’s database)
- a guide for donating to the field
We encourage you to share these pages with anyone who may benefit from them. And as always we're very open to feedback/suggestions, so if you have any, please let us know in the comments or via the anonymous feedback form.
