Introduction

In this workshop, Neel outlines why you might care about forming your own views about AI safety, common traps, pitfalls and misconceptions, and concrete first steps for trying to do this. Attendees will then pick a concrete question about AI, and practice forming their own views on it. This is aimed at attendees with some prior knowledge of AI safety, but who feel that they often defer to people on the topic. View the original talk and video here.
