Theory of Change
AED believes that the AI safety field needs robust digital infrastructure to grow effectively. Many people want to help with AI safety but do not know where to start, and existing resources are scattered and hard to find. By building and maintaining centralized hubs for communities, training programs, funding sources, career opportunities, and research resources, AED aims to lower barriers to entry, connect people to relevant opportunities, and enable more effective work across the AI safety ecosystem. This field-building approach addresses the bottleneck of coordination and information access rather than conducting direct technical research.
