Episode #28  - “AI Safety Equals Emergency Preparedness” For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast Full Interview Starts At: (00:09:54) Please Donate Here To Help Promote For Humanity https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/forhumanitypodcast BIG IDEA ALERT: This week’s show has something really big and really new. What if AI Safety didn’t have to carve out a new space in government–what if it could fit into already existing budgets. Emergency Preparedness–in the post 9-11 era–is a massively well funded area of federal and state government here in the US. There are agencies and organizations and big budgets already created to fund the prevention and recovery from disasters of all kinds, asteroids, pandemics, climate-related, terrorist-related, the list goes on an on. This week’s guest, AI Policy Researcher Akash Wasil, has had more than 80 meetings with congressional staffers about AI existential risk. In Episode 28 trailer, he goes over his framing of AI Safety as Emergency Preparedness, the US vs. China race dynamic, and the vibes on Capitol Hill about AI risk.
