Hi everyone!
My name is Ana, I’m a sociology student currently conducting a research project at the University of Buenos Aires. My work focuses on how awareness around AI Safety is raised and how the discourses on this topic are structured and circulated.

That’s why I’d love to ask you a few questions about your experiences.
To understand, from a micro-level perspective, how information about AI Safety spreads and what the trajectories of those involved look like, I’m very interested in your stories: how did you first learn about AI Safety? What made you feel compelled by it? How did you start getting involved?
I’d also love to know a bit more about you and your personal or professional background.

I would deeply appreciate it if you could take a moment to complete this short form where I ask a few questions about your experience. If you prefer, you’re also very welcome to reply to this post with your story.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has any level of interest in AI Safety — even if it's minimal — from those who have just recently become curious and occasionally read a post on Less Wrong, to those who work professionally in the field.

Thank you so much in advance!
