I am Jason Green-Lowe, the executive director of the Center for AI Policy (CAIP). Our mission is to directly convince Congress to pass strong AI safety legislation. As I explain in some detail in this post, I think our organization has been doing extremely important work, and that we've been doing well at it. Unfortunately, we have been unable to get funding from traditional donors to continue our operations. If we don't get more funding in the next 30 days, we will have to shut down, which will damage our relationships with Congress and make it harder for future advocates to get traction on AI governance. In this post, I explain what we've been doing, why I think it's valuable, and how your donations could help. This is the first post in what I expect will be a 3-part series. The first post focuses on CAIP's particular need [...] ---Outline:(01:33) OUR MISSION AND STRATEGY(02:59) Our Model Legislation(04:17) Direct Meetings with Congressional Staffers(05:20) Expert Panel Briefings(06:16) AI Policy Happy Hours(06:43) Op-Eds & Policy Papers(07:22) Grassroots & Grasstops Organizing(09:13) Whats Unique About CAIP?(10:26) OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS(10:29) Quantifiable Outputs(11:21) Changing the Media Narrative(12:23) Proof of Concept(13:44) Outcomes -- Congressional Engagement(18:29) Context(19:54) OUR PROPOSED POLICIES(19:58) Mandatory Audits for Frontier AI(21:23) Liability Reform(22:32) Hardware Monitoring(24:11) Emergency Powers(25:31) Further Details(25:41) RESPONSES TO COMMON POLICY OBJECTIONS(25:46) 1.

[spp-player]Gail Straus is mostly retired, meaning that in addition to volunteer work, she remains open to the occasional client project. In 2021, Gail joined the Communications Team at AARP Illinois as a volunteer. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Guest House Chicago, donates time and expertise to the Moran Center for Social Justice in Evanston, is on the Ambassadors Advisory Committee to Steppenwolf Theater Company, and volunteers for the Taproot Foundation.We asked, “How did you become involved with AARP-IL?” Gail was clear of her intent to use her expertise and skills in an organization which would recognize her value as a volunteer. AARP IL's Director of Communication was delighted to tap into her experience. As an active volunteer member of the communications team, she brings insight into connecting marketing and outreach strategies to the most effective communications vehicles. More importantly, she serves as the voice of the older adult for the communications team. Gail also writes a monthly column on older adults for AARP-IL and says, “Don't call me elderly!” A big reason Gail is volunteering for AARP is their advocacy for older adults in the country. As Gail described, AARP advocates for programs such as social security, provides information and sponsors events on topics that are important to keeping older adults viable and vital and provides an extensive array of both virtual and in-person recreational, informational and entertainment resources such as fraud protection, yoga, cooking classes, ethnic celebrations and arts programming.

On this episode, Amanda Head talks with Congressman Ralph Norman about his vote against the rule on FISA 702. The South Carolina Republican who sits upon the House Rules Committee demanded that FISA 702 include a warrant requirement in order to protect American citizens privacy and Constitutional rights. Congressman Norman also responded to the official Biden White House ‘X' post, to which they try to smear him and several of his other Republican colleagues for taking PPP loans to keep their businesses open and their staff supported.

Nina Volk was a member of the IDF's Communications Team back when she served in the Israeli Army. In this episode, we did the best we could to make sense of the ongoing Israel/Palestine conflict in the hopes of avoiding a large scale catastrophe. While the dialogue was very much Pro-Israel, we both heaped a lot of criticism on Netanyahu, the failures of Mossad to prevent this attack, and the neoconservative rhetoric that is being used to justify U.S involvement in the region. I hope that you take the time to enjoy this episode. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alex-strenger/support

P.h.inisheD: Recent Graduates of the W&L Communications Team by AERA Writing & Literacies SIG
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How CEA's communications team is thinking about EA communications at the moment, published by Shakeel Hashim on June 23, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR: For now, we're going to be promoting EA as a place for intellectual exploration, incredible research, and real-world impact and innovation. These are my thoughts, but Emma Richter has been closely involved with developing them. This post is intended as a very overdue introduction to CEA's communications team, our goals, and what we're currently working on/planning to work on. I started at CEA as head of communications in September 2022. My position was a new one: as I understand it, various EA stakeholders were concerned that EA communications had fallen into a diffusion of responsibility. Though everyone in this ecosystem wanted it to go well, no one explicitly managed it. I was therefore hired with the remit of trying to fix this. Emma Richter joined the team as a contractor in December and became a permanent member of the team in March. We've also worked with a variety of external advisors, most notably Mike Levine at TSD Communications. Our team has two main goals. The first is to help look after the EA brand. That means, broadly, that we want the outside world to have an accurate, and positive impression of effective altruism and the value created by this ecosystem. The second, more nebulous goal, is to help the EA ecosystem better use communications to achieve various object-level goals. This means things like “helping to publicise a report on effective giving”, or “advocating for AI safety in the press”. As communications capacity grows across the EA ecosystem, I expect this goal to become less of a priority for us — but for now I think we have expertise that can be used to make a big difference in this way. With that in mind, here's how we're thinking about things at the moment. I'll start with what's going on in the world. There are a few particularly salient things I'm tracking: On the EA brand: Negative attention on EA has significantly died down. We expect it to flare back up somewhat this autumn, around SBF's trial and various book releases, though probably not to the level that it was in late 2022. On net, there doesn't appear to be a hit to the EA brand from FTX (see here for various data). Among those who have heard of both, though, there may have been a hit — and I suspect that group of people would include important subgroups like journalists and politicians. There is uncertainty about what people want EA (the brand, the ecosystem and/or the community) to be. Within CEA, our new executive director might make fairly radical changes (though they may also keep things quite similar). From the job announcement: “One thing to highlight is that we are both open to and enthusiastic about candidates who want to pursue significant changes to CEA. This might include: Spinning off or shutting down programs, or starting new programs; Focusing on specific cause areas, or on promoting general EA principles; Trying to build something more like a mass movement or trying to be more selective and focused; Significant staffing changes; Changing CEA's name. There is increased interest in cause-specific field building (e.g. see here). In general, there are lots of conversations and uncertainties about what direction to take EA in (“should we frame EA as a community or a philosophical movement?" or "should we devote most of our resources to AI safety right now?") I expect this uncertainty to clear up a little as conversations continue in the next few months (e.g. in things like EA Strategy Fortnight), and CEA getting a new ED might help too. But I don't expect it to resolve altogether. That said, EA community building (groups, conferences, online discussion spaces) has a strong track record and it seems likel...

The term ‘Shadows of Production' most often brings to mind images of hazy rooms teeming with technical wizards clad in black t-shirts honing the smallest details of the next event to ensure the best experience possible. Accurate? Now, chew on this thought for a second: If the show goes on and no one outside the organization experienced it; did it even really happen? We'll give you a minute to put your mind back together.
