Hello, I am a Czech 25 yo sociology student who strongly believes in the importance of making AI safe. After falling in love with Kurzweil's visions and learning about Bostrom's fears I discovered the immense importance of this topic and that I would like to take part in making the future world an amazing place. I would like to continue reading, thinking and writing about this matter and hopefully make it also my job. I won't have a formal education in this field though. I think I have a passion for the future of humanity and AI and some talent for this kind of thinking.

Would you recommend becoming an AI activist? To educate public about AI dangers, to put pressure on politicians, run social media accounts, write books and make lectures?

Or should I try career in AI safety research?

What do you think about these two options, which do you think is more useful and possible?

Thanks for your answers. ondragon
