Activism by the AI Community Analysing Recent Achievements and Future Prospects Haydn Belfield Centre for the Study of Existential Risk University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK [email address redacted] ABSTRACT The artificial intelligence (AI) community has recently engaged in activism in relation to their employers, other members of the communi ty, and their governments in or der to shape the societal and ethical implications of AI. It has achieved some notable successes, but prospects for further political or ganising and activism are uncertain. We survey activism by the AI community over the last six years; apply two analytical frameworks drawing upon the literature on epistemic communities, and worker organising and bargaining; and explore what they imply for the future prospects of the AI community. Success thus far has hinged on a cohere nt shared culture, and high bar gaining power due to the high demand for a limited sup ply of AI ?talent ?. Both are c...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
